Network / sf::IpAddress::getPublicAddress(): timeout parameter ignored

« on: October 31, 2019, 11:38:30 pm »

Hi,
Yesterday sfml-dev.org was down, and so www.sfml-dev.org/ip-provider.php was not accessible.
Then I noticed that the timeout parameter of sf::IpAddress::getPublicAddress() is ignored.
The functions was not returning before a long time, I don't remember how long, but maybe something like 3 minutes even when the timeout was set on 3 secondes.

Should I fill an issue?

Network / is "sf::SocketSelector .wait()" required?

« on: October 31, 2019, 10:53:23 pm »

Hi,
I'm new to network programming, and I have a question related to the use of the .wait() method from a sf::SocketSelector object in this example:
https://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.5.1/classsf_1_1SocketSelector.php

I read in the documentation that wait() is blocking, so I was wondering if it's possible to not call this function, and call directly .isReady() on my sockets.
Being a beginner with network programming and also with threads/concurrent/asynchrone programming I was wondering if I could start with a single thread and avoid blocking functions like wait()?

Hi,

It's about this page:
http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/bindings.php

The correct case for OCaml is OCaml (not Ocaml).

Thanks

General / references to keep between different objects

« on: June 10, 2012, 04:51:57 pm »

Hi,

I'm the author of the ocaml-sfml bindings.
OCaml is a garbage collected language, so I need to know the precise relationships between objects that interact together to know which should keep a reference alive around and which don't have to.

For SFML-1.6 Laurent gave me these informations:

- Sound  should keep a reference on its SoundBuffer
- String should keep a reference on its Font
- Sprite should keep a reference on its Image
- PostFx should keep references on all its Images given with SetTexture
- Window should keep a reference on its Input
- RenderWindow should keep a reference on its Input
- RenderWindow should keep a reference on its CurrentView and its DefaultView

So could someone help me to update and complete these informations for SFML-2.0?

When object A uses object B, does B have to stay arround or may it be deleted?

- Sound  should keep a reference on its SoundBuffer
- String should keep a reference on its Font
?? Texture ?(should | don't have to)? keep a reference on its Image ??
?? Sprite ?(should | don't have to)? keep a reference on its Texture ??
- RenderWindow should keep a reference on its CurrentView and its DefaultView
?? Shape <=> Texture ??
?? SocketSelector <=> Socket ??
?? Socket <=> SocketSelector ??
?? Shader ??

... others ???
