将Linux套接字应用程序移植到Windows USins MsDev

Question

Is there openly available headers which can be used to compile linux socket application (using socket/udp/ip headers). they should define structures like sa_family_t,in_port_t

Mandatory is to use Msdev and not cygwin/gcc or mingw compiler.

Answer 1

You can use the structures and functions declared in winsock.h or winsock2.h from the standard Win32 API. There are some differences from the standard BSD implementation, but for a simple socket-based application the port should be relatively straightforward.

Answer 2

As far as I know, there is no easy way to do this. Windows provides an entirely different set of system calls than linux, as well as a different method for handling sockets.
