Not that we don't want AF_UNIX sockets in Wine, but I'll again point out that anyone wanting to communicate with a Unix process using a byte stream should be able to use a named FIFO or a TCP loopback socket instead.
Yeah, it's a thing too, but with socket you can only reserve a port.
Using a file instead of a 16bit number is better, mainly it doesn't risk to conflict cause of port collision.
And I know that no one want to prevent AF_UNIX, what I meant is I just want this MR to be in for wine 9.0
I think 50€ is good enough for someone to find time to see about this MR, I know code can take a lot of time to manage.
If not, I am always open to discuss about price, the only thing I need is a link to send the money.
