While making CloudABI work well on Linux, I discovered that I had a
FreeBSD-ism in one of my unit tests. The test did the following:
- Create UNIX socket 1, bind it, make it listen.
- Create UNIX socket 2, connect it to UNIX socket 1.
- Close UNIX socket 1.
- Obtain SO_ERROR from socket 2.
On FreeBSD this returns ECONNABORTED, while on Linux it returns
ECONNRESET. I dug through some of the relevant specifications and it
looks like Linux is all right here. ECONNABORTED should only be returned
when the local connection (socket 2) is aborted; not the peer (socket 1).
It is of course slightly misleading: the function in which we set this
error is called uipc_abort(), but keep in mind that we're aborting the
peer, thus resetting the local socket.
