Re: [gnet-dev] a few patches and some bugs

[David Helder <dhelder umich edu>]

Dan,

Did you try gnet-1.1.8?  That should fix the bugs in pack_test.c.

Using gsize is a good idea.  I'll take a look at updating iochannel
appropriately.

Do you know where the alignment problems are occuring?  Could be in the
inetaddr/socket code...

Thanks,
David
