Inconsistent behavior Linux/Windows on UDP bind error

[schlamar]

libuv closes the underlying socket on bind error on Linux (

libuv/src/unix/udp.c

Line 343 in d898a1f

uv__close(handle->io_watcher.fd);

) but not on Windows (

libuv/src/win/udp.c

Line 261 in 87df144

r = bind(handle->socket, addr, addrlen);

).

This means you get an error on Linux when closing the socket afterwards but not on Windows.

Definitely a bug. Thanks for reporting!

It seems to me you're right. Would you like to send a PR?

[schlamar]

What should be the expected behavior? :)

I would say the Windows behavior is correct. It also aligns with the behavior of uv_tcp_t.
