                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5187
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++ - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.13.0
            Reporter: Mario Emmenlauer
            Assignee: Mario Emmenlauer


Since a while now, [Windows 10 has support for AF_UNIX and Unix domain sockets|https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/af_unix-comes-to-windows/]. The support is not limited to C++ but has subsequently made it into other languages like [dotnet|https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/pull/10560]. Support includes domain socket files and abstract domain sockets, as long as the socket type is `SOCK_STREAM`, and a recent version of Windows 10 is used (Windows 10 build 17063 or newer (April 2018 Update)).

This issue should track support for AF_UNIX on Windows platform.

Compared to Windows Pipes, Unix domain sockets allow for a unified model of socket servers and clients on all major platforms.
