No clues.

Comment 2:

It's a common convention (e.g. in /proc/net/unix) to name "abstract" sockets with an
initial '@', but an unnamed socket does not look like an abstract-named socket so maybe
it should be:
if pp.Path[0] == 0 && pp.Path[1] == 0 {
    sa.Name = ""
}

Comment 3:

Feel free to send a CL if you can take care of both autobind and abstract namespace
features.

Comment 4:

With https://golang.org/cl/69910043
autobind and abstract sockets keep their '@' but the unnamed sockets become "".

Comment 5:

Status changed to Accepted.

Comment 6:

According to the last comment from @rsc here https://codereview.appspot.com/69910043 and lack of attention I'm closing this bug.
