Can I use Local Sockets on a Windows Operating System? - C++ / Boost -
can create boost::asio::local::stream_protocol::socket on windows operating system? know supposed 'unix' socket, windows not support this?
if understood correctly, boost::asio::local::stream_protocol posix specific. windows no posix conform environment, there posix enviroments windows out there, namely cygwin. not able distribute these applications without distributing environment well.
in cases, when unix primary target platform, , offering windows version out of generosity, may acceptable.
otherwise should think ways of getting around functionalities explicitly marked non-portable.
