hello,
i am trying to write a multicast receiver client, i am trying to send an IGMP membership request containing a multicast group address out on the wire. i have done this in C by using setsockopt() with the IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP option, with the value being an ip_mreq struct containing the multicast address. i believe this is not yet supported, but i really need it, and i am willing to add it. i have not had success modifying the smalltalk/x system code, i get bytecode compiler errors, i'm not sure if i need to do something special to modify the smalltalk system code. So i guess my question has two parts:
1. does smalltalk/x support joining multicast groups?
2. do i need anything special to modify the underlying smalltalk system to add functionality? i can see what looks like C code, but i am unable to accept changes to it.
thanks!
