im very new to c++ network programming, i have a problem that wen i start my server...my game seems to crash, very basic, ive looked and tried many different tutorials on the internet, but all of them seem to make my game crash. im very familiar with vb winsock but this is wayy different then vb..
anyways heres my code, if anyone could plz point out an error, it would be great thx in advance :)
When you post questions about programs crashing, it helps if you say where it crashes, and what the debugger says the various variables are at that point. Even better is if you step through the program line by line in the debugger, and view the various variable values.
Btw: in your code, you initialize WinSock even if the home key isn't held. You also define a second instance of "serverInfo" that shadows the first version.

Do you mean _crash_ or _hang_? It seems to me that you are not making the listening socket asynchronous. This means that when you call accept it will block the thread until a connection comes in on that socket.
Try making the socket asynchronous, using setsockopt - or use the select function to determine first whether a connection is waiting before you attempt to accept it. As an alternative you can also use WSAAsyncSelect - which will post a message to your specified window when a connection is present.
Hope this helps.

You're ussing non assyncronous sockets, in this case the server blocs every time it runs accept or recv. If you don't want to use asyncronous sockets the better way is to use threads. I suggest you to set up one thread to receive the incomming clients and one more for every client.

hey thx for all ur reply's. i have fixed the problem , it was something to do with the code :
WSAAsyncSelect (listeningSocket,hWnd,WM_ONSOCKET,(FD_CLOSE | FD_CONNECT | FD_READ));This topic is closed to new replies.
