Thread: Error with accept();

but if the msdn says it's int, then VC7 implemented it as int.

ok, forget about msdn...
Borland C++ 5.5 implemintation:

Code:

SOCKET PASCAL FAR accept (
                          IN SOCKET s,
                          OUT struct sockaddr FAR *addr,
                          IN OUT int FAR *addrlen);

VC 6 implemintation:

Code:

SOCKET PASCAL FAR accept (SOCKET s, struct sockaddr FAR *addr,
                          int FAR *addrlen);

and even Bloodshed DevC++:

Code:

SOCKET PASCAL accept(SOCKET,struct sockaddr*,int*);

new question
i tried to consolidate my server and client in one program.
i created a program using both beej and madwizard.
i'm getting an error i have never seen.

Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'buffer2' was corrupted.

here is the code that is involved with buffer2

Code:

			char buffer1[128]="Hello World", buffer2[128];
 
			if (send(remoteSocket, buffer1, sizeof(buffer1), 0)==SOCKET_ERROR)
			{
				cout<<"Remote socket send Error"<<endl;
				getch();
				exit(1);
			}
 
			int bytesReceived = recv(localSocket, buffer2, sizeof(buffer2), 0);
 
			buffer2[bytesReceived]='\0';
 
			cout<<buffer2;
			cout<<endl;
			getch();

any help would be appreciated

never mind i fixed it with

Code:

	 char buffer1[128]="Hello World", buffer2[128];
 
	 if (send(remoteSocket, buffer1, sizeof(buffer1), 0)==SOCKET_ERROR)
	 {
		  cout<<"Remote socket send Error"<<endl;
		  getch();
		  exit(1);
	 }
 
	 int bytesReceived = recv(localSocket, buffer2, sizeof(buffer2), 0);
 
	 buffer2[bytesReceived-1]='\0';
 
	 cout<<buffer2;
	 cout<<endl;
	 getch();

i just figured that out.
check the post before yours.
thanks though.

no worries, i have another question if you are willing to look at it.
if i want to convert this into an online chat program.
(1) is there a way to have the chat display sequentially on a command line interface?
i haven't mastered windows programming yet, i'm only good with console programs.
I want the full communication to resemble a sequential list of text like irc or other im programs.
i can only think of a way to post text then ask for input then post.
it would be anything like a sequential chat.

so... you are good at both

sizeof is not teh saem as strlen, Are you sure you want to send 128bytes even though you only use strlen("hello world") of them?

good call, i will correct that now. are you willing to look at the rest of my code to tell me what other inefficient errors I made?

another question i have. how can i keep receiving and printing while not sending?

i tried strlen(buffer), and it didn't work. it stopped anything from being transmitted.

Code:

	 char buffer1[128]="Hello World", buffer2[128];
 
	 if (send(remoteSocket, buffer1, strlen(buffer1) , 0)==SOCKET_ERROR)
	 {
		 cout<<"Remote socket send Error"<<endl;
		 getch();
		 exit(1);
	 }
 
	 int bytesReceived = recv(localSocket, buffer2, strlen(buffer2) , 0);
 
	 buffer2[bytesReceived-1]='\0';
 
	 cout<<buffer2;
	 cout<<endl;
	 getch();

thanks for your vote of confidence.
i'm sorry the last post was only half complete due to i'm posting while at work.
tell me if this is not correct for the conversion.

Code:

 
send(remoteSocket, buffer1, (strlen(buffer1)+1) , 0)==SOCKET_ERROR)

the reason why it was destroying my last data transfer was due to i was using strlen on my receive buffer, and it basically said receive an amount equivalent to an empty buffer. so nothing was received.
but you did have some constructive comments in regards to the strlen(), so thanks for that.
I think my next question that wasn't thoroughly asked earlier was, how would i have two processes running at the same time? i read a little on and found the terms mult-threaded.
i'm assuming this is how i could receive and send at the same time. does anyone have a really good multi-thread link for me to read, so i can determine if this is what i'm looking for?
