Re: "Modern" server socket programming?

In this circumstance, I would replace GNUstep with Apple's CoreFoundation (it's open, despite branded with Apple) and lay Cocotron on it, then use GNUstep to provide everything that is missing. Cocotron is an implementation of Foundation (GNUstep Base) using open sourced code and based on Apple's CoreFoundation. It will be less effort to do that if you are using FreeBSD. I have Linux so it is a lot more work to do.

You can mix ARC and non-ARC code, given that those code are placed in separate files, then link them together. So you can safely implement the missing link in ARC code using Objective-C categories, and link them together with non-ARC GNUstep and your project in ARC.

Sure, but that's not the problem here. The problem is that when you #import "ULINetSocket.h" (in your ARC-ready code), you also drag in references to <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h> from the same code, which gives you something like this:

In file included from ./ULINetSocket.h:34:

In file included from /usr/local/include/CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h:36:

In file included from /usr/local/include/CoreFoundation/CFBundle.h:31:

In file included from /usr/local/include/CoreFoundation/CFURL.h:34:

/usr/local/include/CoreFoundation/CFString.h:538:15: error: ARC forbids Objective-C objects in structs or unions

  CFStringRef theString;

Of course you could get rid of the requirement for CoreFoundation.h in ULINetSocket.h by masking all CF-refs to something opaque, but then again, there's other CF-code missing and so on. Nothing to gain here.

Cheers,
