Close #469
As mentioned in the issue and the referred comment, this PR is in particular needed for the migration to Catch2, which exposed that these operators were not covering some cases (e.g.
socket_ref
vssocket_t
).This generalization is based on polymorphism and improves const correctness, without exploiting custom cast operators of
socket_ref
andsocket_t
(indeed, it is not so clear to me the situation of these conversion functions, and their const correctness).@gummif has for sure insight on this and may want to give a final feedback on this.
