Title: Binding two sockets to same port doesn't return false
Post by: Floomi on October 17, 2010, 04:22:09 pm

This thread (http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2844&highlight=two+sockets+same+port) says I should be getting a message on stderr if I attempt to bind two sockets to the same port. I don't (and have tested it's not an issue with my IDE by spewing my own text to stderr, which displays fine).

Additionally, the second (illegal) call to Bind() returns true. Surely it should return false if this is not allowed?

I'm on SFML 1.6, Win7 x64 if that helps.

Hmm you're right, no error is triggered. I'll check this as soon as possible, thanks for your feedback.

Fantastic, thanks a lot. Is that fixed in SFML 2 only or is it in the 1.6 download / 1.7 snapshot?

It's fixed in SFML 2 only, there will probably never be a 1.7 version.

Hngh, okay. I've already implemented my own checking for this, but at least it's in 2.0 for others :)
