[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-1481) Unix domain sockets in C++ do not support the abstract namespace

["Ben Craig (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1481?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13509818#comment-13509818 ] 

Ben Craig commented on THRIFT-1481:
-----------------------------------

I should be able to provide a .patch for this once THRIFT-1753 is resolved.  I haven't quite figured out a good workflow for managing incremental patches, and with the impending switch to Git, I'm hesitant to figure out an SVN based approach now.

> Linux provides the ability to create a Unix Domain socket in an abstract namespace independent of the filesystem. A abstract namespace is specified by having the sockaddr_un.sun_path start with a NULL character.
> TServerSocket and TSocket both utilize snprintf when writing to the sockaddr_un structure, which stops at the first NULL character. Abstract namespace support can be added by using memcopy instead.
