Having resurrect my work there really are tons of int cases. Which makes me thing that splitting out a setsockopt_int method which gets passed value instead of a pointer, then converting all the simple cases to that first and then doing the real shit later sounds like a promіsing idea. Let me think a bit more about that. And yes, a lot of the common methods have tons of cases and sub-dispatchers and everything else you'd expect from an ioctl-like interface..
