[Live-devel] Issue building groupsock with MSVC

[Thorson, Joshua C]

Hello,

It seems there are some issues with compiling the latest changes for IPV6 in the groupsock library with MSVC. The issue is with the call to setsockopt, specifically, argument 4 for MSVC is expecting a 'const char *' but is being provided a 'const int *'/'const void *'.  I see you are casting arg 4 to 'const char *' in other places you use setsockopt so I was wondering if you could keep that consistent.

The casting issue occurs on the following lines:
GroupsockHelper.cpp(183): error C2664: 'int setsockopt(SOCKET,int,int,const char *,int)': cannot convert argument 4 from 'const int *' to 'const char *'
GroupsockHelper.cpp(354): error C2664: 'int setsockopt(SOCKET,int,int,const char *,int)': cannot convert argument 4 from 'const int *' to 'const char *'
GroupsockHelper.cpp(600): error C2664: 'int setsockopt(SOCKET,int,int,const char *,int)': cannot convert argument 4 from 'const void *' to 'const char *'
GroupsockHelper.cpp(653): error C2664: 'int setsockopt(SOCKET,int,int,const char *,int)': cannot convert argument 4 from 'const void *' to 'const char *'

Thank you,

Josh
