No I am not debugging, changing the active setting to debugging means, I wont be able to debug the app, cause MFC doesnt want to work with threads properly!

With endless loop I mean something like:

while(true)
{
recv(...)
if error break
if done break
else show message
}

No. I am not using this function. I am just listening on a specific port and waiting for incoming connections, if found, start a new thread for it where this loop comes!

You may lost some data packets in the server side.

Try to use this thinking:

while(TRUE)
{
select(); // to get socket status
if (SOCKET_ERROR)
{
//deal with the error
//WSAGetLastError() must be called
}
if (TOUT)
{
continue;
}

recv();// after that, you are ready to read some data, because select() was signaled to do something.

}

Ok, thats fine. I didnt know about select!

Now I get an error code 10022 which means:

"WSAEINVAL
(10022)
Invalid argument.
Some invalid argument was supplied (for example, specifying an invalid level to the setsockopt function). In some instances, it also refers to the current state of the socket—for instance, calling accept on a socket that is not listening."

Now my question. Where didnt I pass the right arguments? I dont use SetSockOpt. I called the select directly after accepting an incoming conncetion, so, before going into the thread! Accept doesnt give any errors. And I know it works, cause I can send msgs.

This is what my accept looks like, or better the whole code up to accept:

if(WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1,1),&wsaData)!=0)
MessageBox(TEXT("Initialize"), TEXT("Error!"), MB_OK);
local.sin_addr.s_addr=INADDR_ANY;
local.sin_family=AF_INET;
local.sin_port=htons(20248);

if((server_s=socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP))==INVALID_SOCKET)
MessageBox(TEXT("SocketCreation"), TEXT("Error!"), MB_OK);

if(bind(server_s, (PSOCKADDR)&local, sizeof(local))==SOCKET_ERROR)
MessageBox(TEXT("Binding"), TEXT("Error!"), MB_OK);

if(listen(server_s, 10)!=0)
MessageBox(TEXT("Listening"), TEXT("Error!"), MB_OK);
else
{
m_con_s="- Connected -";
UpdateData(false);
connect_b=true;
}

while(true)
{
fromlen=sizeof(from);
if((client_s=accept(server_s, (struct sockaddr*)&from, &fromlen))==INVALID_SOCKET)
{
wsprintf (szError, TEXT("Accepting Connections. Error: %d"),
WSAGetLastError ());
MessageBox(szError, "Accepting Connections:", MB_OK);
break;
}
else
if(select(0,0,0,0,0)==SOCKET_ERROR)
{
wsprintf (szError, TEXT("Error: %d"),
WSAGetLastError ());
MessageBox(szError, "Status of Con.", MB_OK);
break;
}
}

Thanks so far!

Are there any functions fast than sccanf, sprintf, strlen?

Two more questions:

1. How to use Select? I just set all arguments to NULL, is that correct to get the state of the socket?

2. Can the problem be because I am using just one port for everything, although I am using threads? I mean, every client is connecting on the same port, and get its messages on this port.

Maybe.

Before you start though I have two questions:

Have you done a profile on your program and determined that you program is really spending a lot of time in those 3 functions. In most cases, despite those functions not being particularly good, they are good enough.

Why are you not using a C++ string class, and the functions they provide to do the same? There are a number of them out there.

Assuming you have good answers to those questions:
strlen is best made faster by making a string class (or structure if you must do pure C) that holds the length of the string. Keeping this up to date can greatly speed up your program if strlen is called often.

The other two are most easily taken care of by careful analysis of what you are doing with them. In most cases just knowing something about the data and how it is used can make solutions obvious. (for instance if you use sprintf to create a string, and sscanf to latter pull it apart, why create the string in the first place, just pass the data)

Not knowing your data I cannot say more. I still suspect that this question is not worth asking.

msvcrt version

Hi
I have an application that is to run as a service. That it should run as soon as it is installed without restarting. But the problem is I have created the application as mfc shared. But in some system it doesnt work due to
The version of msvcrt in the system is outdated.

How can I overcome this. I am not able to replace the msvcrt file as the it is used by the current system.

Is there any other option than a static build ? Will static build cause problems. Should I repeat the whole testing process for static build also ?

Regards
zainu

You can try to place the version of the DLL you need in the same directory than your executable. When running it, it should load the one located in its directory before searching for one with the same name from the Path.

The other way is to replace msvcrt.dll by putting the version you want in some directory, setting then a copy command to System32 in the registry key "RunOnce" and reboot the system, but it may be potentially dangerous, it could break other applications who need the version you replace.

Hi
Thank you very much for your time and answer.

I have tried both of them.

1. It has the problem that the old version is already in memory, so my application will refer to the one in memory instead of loading the new one from the folder.

2. I want to accomplish it without a restart.

Thanks again
regards

Well I got it
Change you project setting , and make MFC statically linked.

Hi
Thanks vikram,

Yes I did that but the application crashes in NT 4.

Anyway I did a workaround and did some command line processing in the set up.

All child window background color in mdi application

5-Nov-04 1:43

Yes...It may happen.Coz your application might be having sub components and some of them are using statically linked CRT or otherwise...And dealing with multiple crts at a time going to a very rough task ...
