So we either need to explicitly exclude this symbol on Windows (at least until we drop support for pre-Windows 10 versions) or silently ignore setsockopt errors for future good arguments. I'm inclined to do the former - other opinions? -------------- I'm not a socket expert, I have a question about the former one. Imagine someone changed those values in his/her code, for example: socket.TCP_KEEPCNT = 20 His/her code works fine on new version Windows. Will this line break things again on old version Windows?
