What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.21.3 windows/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

go env Output
$ go env
set GOHOSTARCH=amd64
set GOHOSTOS=windows

What did you do?

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net"
)

func main() {
	multicastIP := net.ParseIP("ff02::c")
	multicastAddr := net.UDPAddr{IP: multicastIP}

	interfaces, err := net.Interfaces()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Failed to list interfaces", err)
		return
	}

	for _, iface := range interfaces {
		if iface.Flags&net.FlagUp == 0 || iface.Flags&net.FlagLoopback != 0 || iface.Flags&net.FlagMulticast == 0 {
			fmt.Println("Skipping interface", iface.Name)
			continue
		}

		conn, err := net.ListenMulticastUDP("udp6", &iface, &multicastAddr)
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Println("Failed to listen on", iface.Name, err)
			continue
		}

		fmt.Println("Listening on", iface.Name)

		defer conn.Close()
	}
}

What did you expect to see?

Example output on a Linux host:

Skipping interface lo
Listening on enp0s31f6
Listening on enxc4cbe10cec3d
Listening on wlp0s20f3
Listening on virbr0
Skipping interface wg0
Skipping interface wg1
Listening on docker0
Listening on br-651beae84a39
Listening on vethfed639d
Listening on vnet0

What did you see instead?

This fails for regular interfaces on Windows 10 and Windows 11 hosts:

Failed to listen on Ethernet-Instanz 0 listen udp6 [ff02::c]:0: setsockopt: not supported by windows
Skipping interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1

Looks like ListenMulticastUDP calls listenIPv6MulticastUDP to handle ipv6 addresses, which calls joinIPv6Group:

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/883f062fc0a097bf561030ad453fd3e300896975/src/net/sockoptip_posix.go#L40-L50

joinIPv6Group then calls fd.pfd.SetsockoptIPv6Mreq which in turn calls syscall.SetsockoptIPv6Mreq:

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/883f062fc0a097bf561030ad453fd3e300896975/src/internal/poll/sockoptip.go#L20-L28

SetsockoptIPv6Mreq for windows just returns EWINDOWS (aka not supported by windows):

go/src/syscall/syscall_windows.go

Lines 1174 to 1175 in 883f062

func SetsockoptIPv6Mreq(fd Handle, level, opt int, mreq *IPv6Mreq) (err error) { return EWINDOWS }

Well I decided to just copy what SetsockoptIPMreq does

func SetsockoptIPMreq(fd Handle, level, opt int, mreq *IPMreq) (err error) {
	return Setsockopt(fd, int32(level), int32(opt), (*byte)(unsafe.Pointer(mreq)), int32(unsafe.Sizeof(*mreq)))
}
func SetsockoptIPv6Mreq(fd Handle, level, opt int, mreq *IPv6Mreq) (err error) {
	return Setsockopt(fd, int32(level), int32(opt), (*byte)(unsafe.Pointer(mreq)), int32(unsafe.Sizeof(*mreq)))
}

It appears to have worked

.\udp.exe
Listening on VirtualBox Host-Only Network
Listening on Ethernet
Skipping interface Wi-Fi
Listening on vEthernet (Default Switch)
Listening on vEthernet (WSL)

tbh I don't known why it is marked as not supported.

Also wondering why the test here didn't catch this

Because os.Getuid always returns -1 on Windows:

go/src/net/listen_test.go

Lines 613 to 615 in 883f062

if os.Getuid() != 0 {
t.Skip("must be root")
}

@mauri870 is your patch working?

@bt90 I just tried to run the example OP provided, it seemed to enumerate the interfaces correctly, I'm not sure about the actual state of IPv6 on windows
