We haven't agreed what the right fix should be yet — Heinz, presumably
your change is included in your RTEMS-4.12 branch?

I would be more inclined to add another typedef to the osdSock.h API for
this data type instead of adding more OS-specific #ifdefs into the
source. There are 2 places in Base-3.15 that make this call:

            if (setsockopt(..., IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_LOOP,
                          (char *) &flag, sizeof(flag)) ...

Declaring the flag variable as say
        osiSockOptMcastLoop_t flag = 1;
would seem to be a cleaner solution, and in line with how other OS
socket API differences have been resolved in the past.

Any objections to implementing this in Base-3.15?

- Andrew
