Usage of sf::Socket::Status in non-blocking sockets?
« on: January 17, 2011, 05:15:49 pm »
Hi. I'm using SFML2 in my project and non-blocking UDP socket. According to the API, I should get enum code 1 (NotReady), when I send data when the previous data hasn't been completely sent yet, do I understand this correctly?

When I run the code (just sending data in a loop), on OS X, I get enum code 3 (Error) when the previous data hasn't been sent yet. On Windows, I get 0 (Done) all the time. Either there's a bug in the library, or I'm just understanding the whole thing wrong. Receiving works correctly afaik.

Can you show a complete and minimal piece of code that reproduces this problem?

The following code:
Code: [Select]
#include <SFML/Network.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
  sf::IpAddress ip("localhost");
  sf::UdpSocket socket;
  sf::Packet packet;
  sf::Socket::Status socket_status = sf::Socket::Done;
  sf::Socket::Status receive_status = sf::Socket::Done;
  unsigned short port = 55555;

  socket.Bind(sf::UdpSocket::Socket::AnyPort);
  socket.SetBlocking(false);

  while (true) {
    socket_status = socket.Send(packet, ip, port);

    if (receive_status==0) {
      receive_status = socket.Receive(packet,ip,port);
      std::cout << "Received." << std::endl;
    }

    std::cout << "Socket status is: " << socket_status << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Receive status is: " << receive_status << std::endl;

    if (!socket_status==0)
      return 1;

    packet.Clear();
  }

}


Produces following output (on Mac OS X 10.6.6):
Code: [Select]
Socket status is: 0
Receive status is: 1
Socket status is: 3
Receive status is: 1


Strangely, I found out that if I comment out the receive part (even if it is not called even once), both statuses are always 0. I don't know how what output Windows does, because I don't have a Windows computer around, but I'll post it too later on, if needed. I didn't have any server running when doing this test, but it shouldn't affect the outcome, should it?

Is this a bug or is it my code? :) Thanks for your help.

Ok I'll test that, thanks for the code. I'll try it on Linux, the network code is the same as on Mac OS X.

Not yet, sorry. There are so many things that I have to test... :cry:
