Bug #9351: Make Rinda::RingFinger work correctly on OpenBSD and NetBSD

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: seki (Masatoshi Seki)
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: ruby 2.1.0p0 (2013-12-25 revision 44422) [x86_64-openbsd]
• Backport: 1.9.3: DONTNEED, 2.0.0: DONTNEED, 2.1: DONE

[jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans)]

The current Rinda::RingFinger code assumes that the IP_MULTICAST_LOOP socket option takes int, but in NetBSD and OpenBSD it takes unsigned char. Switch to using Socket::Option.ipv4_multicast_loop for better portability.

To get this to work correctly on OpenBSD, the patch in #9350 is required.
