[swift-corelibs-dev] Cannot call CFStreamCreatePairWithSocket on Linux

[Philippe Hausler]

You are correct, those symbols are from CFNetwork which are not yet implemented on linux targets. CFStream is implemented but CFSocketStream is not implemented in swift-corelibs-foundation. It could be technically reasonable to port the open source (very old) CFNetwork to linux. However I am fairly certain that would take a bit of work to get up and running; especially the Security framework portions.
