Cannot call CFStreamCreatePairWithSocket on Linux

I am wondering if this would hamper the implementation of NSStream, NSInputStream and NSOutputStream for Linux.

Hello all,

While attempting a simple Swift client-server program on Linux using CFSocket, I tried to create CFReadStream and CFWriteStream instances using CFStreamCreatePairWithSocket(:::). The program compiles and links but it crashes with this:

2016-03-15 10:30:17.791 Client[21389:5a501740] CoreFoundation: failed to dynamically link symbol _CFSocketStreamCreatePair

2016-03-15 10:30:17.791 Client[21389:5a501740] CoreFoundation: failed to dynamically link symbol _CFErrorCreateWithStreamError

2016-03-15 10:30:17.791 Client[21389:5a501740] CoreFoundation: failed to dynamically link symbol _CFStreamErrorFromCFError

I see that these symbols are dynamically linked from CFNetwork which, I guess, doesn't exist on Linux (so there is no lookup for these symbols on Linux).

Does this qualify to be a CFStream limitation on Linux?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi Pushkar,

Yes, this is used by “getStreamsToHostWithName”. I think we’ll have to come up with a replacement implementation here, either by starting with the old CFNetwork open source code or writing our own.
