[Live-devel] Fwd: why am I getting "bad ports" in groupsock/GroupsockHelper.cpp:setupDatagramSocket()?

Too many options are bad (especially for an obscure option like this that doesn’t affect many people).  Subclassing is good (and is the easiest way to make your changes LGPL-compliant).

Last time I checked (admittedly, several years ago), “getopt()” wasn’t available for Windows developers who use Visual Studio.  But someday we’ll likely be ditching Windows as a possible platform for these server applications - in which case I might update the code to use “getopt()”.
