[SMFL 2] Using TcpListener (FIXED)

[CoderUK]

Hi guys.

I'm trying to use the network module of the 2.0 rc to create a simple Server/Client that can send and receive some basic data. I've read through the tutorial and searched the forum best I can, but I can't find anything similar to the problem. First off, I'll post some code snips.

Server code:

Code: [Select]

TcpListener Host;
if(!Host.listen(50000))
return;

TcpSocket socket;
Host.accept(socket);
cout << "New Client Connected: " << socket.getRemoteAddress() << endl;
char ToSend[] = "Success";
socket.send(ToSend, sizeof(ToSend));
cout << "Message sent to client : \"" << ToSend << "\"" << endl;

Client code:

Code: [Select]

TcpSocket Client;
Client.setBlocking(false);
if(Client.connect("localhost", 50000))
        return;
char Message[128];
size_t Received;
Client.receive(Message, sizeof(Message), Received);
cout << "Message received! = \"" << Message << "\"" << endl;

char ToSend[] = "HELLOOOOOOOO";
Client.send(ToSend, sizeof(ToSend));
cout << "Message sent to server : \"" << ToSend << "\"" << endl;

Client.disconnect();

Basically, what happens is the code just hits the return and from what I can tell stops listening (Neglected to give its own thread, so if its listening it causes my UI to lock up atm). Sorry, about the pretty amateurish post,  new to C++/Networking

Please use the [code = cpp] tags for code blocks instead of [ quote ].

Your problem can easily be solved by reading the documentation and asking yourself the good questions. If your code hits the return statement, it means that the connect function returns a non-zero value. But what is it supposed to return if it succeeds? ...

Ok, so am I right in thinking that we want to keep listening until it returns 0 (Socket has been sent or received). Once listen returns 0, then we send/receive our data?

[Laurent]

No, there's no "0" here. Seriously, have you read the doc?

I meant Socket.Done (Also = 0 in the Status enum). Anywho, got it working now anyway.

I meant Socket.Done

That's better
