Hi!
I've been trying to integrate SFML with my code. It worked perfectly, but only in Debug mode. When I switched to release (and played with libs for a while) it compiled successfully, but the program breaks at SocketTCP::Connect. My guess is that there's something wrong with Release SFML code. I've compiled the libs and dlls again from provided .sln, but it did't change a thing. Maybe someone has already encountered this error?

Well... nobody even bother to reply. A bit sad if you ask me. Here's the code, it breaks on m_Socket->Connect(). (Or maybe m_Socket->IsValid, I'm not sure, but debugger shows that little green arrow on Connect())

Code: [Select]


m_Socket = new sf::SocketTCP();
m_Socket->SetBlocking(true);
	if (m_Socket->IsValid())
	{
		sf::Socket::Status SockStat = m_Socket->Connect(port, ip, 10.0f);
		if (SockStat != sf::Socket::Done)
		{
//...

I've recently checked, and the program works (hence still doesn't connect) when I comment the line with SetBlocking(true)

Can you provide a complete and minimal code that reproduces this problem?

Well, actually it's a real puzzle to compile it. There's no way to compile a project with SFML linked statically in VS2010

I've tried with the sample code. Debug works like a charm, while release... client crashes. So it's certainly NOT my code.

Are you sure that you link to a release build in release mode?

I link to sfml-network.lib.
I've been trying to load symbols for this dll, but there were more problems. However, I've managed to get the exact breaking point - sf::IpAddress constructor -> which uses winsock's gethostbyname.

Wooah!
It works. I've recompiled whole SFML again. I think it's a real problem there aren't any .sln for VS2010...

I don't think so, as you can convert the VS 2008 ones.

Anyway: In the future, Laurent plans to use CMake which can directly build VS 2010 projects.
