there was some work but it was not finished, then is kind of aborted (for now). if you want to take a look there are some primitives in the networking plugin… never finished, never tested, never done :) Esteban

Hi,

does anyone know what is the state of Pharo's IPv6 support?

I've found some discussion from 2009/2010 talking about it and making changes to the VM, but it seems incomplete.

Creating IPv6 socket seems to be supported on the VM side (and I had no failure when I modified the netType from 0 to 3 in Socket>>initialize:)

https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/opensmalltalk-vm/platf... https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/opensmalltalk-vm/platf...

However creating connection fails I guess here https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/opensmalltalk-vm/src/p...

And even if it didn't fail there, sqSocketConnectToPort accepts address in sqInt (4 bytes), and sets the type to AF_INET https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/opensmalltalk-vm/platf...

Was the effort abandoned? Am I doing something wrong and it actually should work?

Also NetNameResolver in Pharo is IPv4 only, but that's not an issue here.

Thanks, Peter
