sending while the send is processing

[lorence30]

in a chat app, using tcpSocket what will happen if the previous message is still in the process of sending and the client sends a new message, does the new message will be disregard? or it will queue and wait until the previous message sent

can you answer it in nonblock and blocking mode ?

TIA

What about properly documenting yourself about the TCP protocol?

SFML sockets are a very thin wrapper around system sockets. So you won't find answers to your questions in the SFML doc nor on the SFML forums. You should rather find some good documentation about TCP/UDP sockets if you don't want to struggle with network programming.

i see, i get your point, my question is about a tcp protocol

[Laurent]

There's one thing that can happen independently of the TCP protocol itself: if you overflow the internal buffer of the socket, and your data is rejected before TCP even sees it. In this case you must use the new function in sf::TcpSocket that allows partial send. See the documentation for more details.
