Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2012-01-16 12:54:11 UTC 
Hi,

this is useful to know in advance how large the next pending datagram on an UDP socket is at least. Without this it's impossible to guarantee that a complete datagram is read.

Patch (not by me) is at http://gitorious.org/frida/glib/commit/baf675d/diffs

This works as expected on Windows and Linux at least (and works with non-UDP sockets too).

One of the commits here has the patch from gitorious, applying cleanly against latest master
