[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC] Do not set SO_REUSEADDR on Windows

[Sebastian Ottlik]

This patchset disabels all use of SO_REUSEADDR on Windows. On Windows systems
the default behavior is equivalent to SO_REUSEADDR on other operating
systems. SO_REUSEADDR can still be set but results in undesired bahvior
instead. It may even lead to situations were system behavior is
unspecified. More information on this can be found at:

I originally encountered this issue when accidentally launching two QEMU
instances with identical GDB ports at the same time. In which case QEMU won't
fail as one might expect. I am sending this as RFC as I A) only checked that
this fixes issues for the GDB server and B) am not sure if this is the correct
format for this patchset.
