Thread: send 2D array using UDP

I am trying to send and recieve a 5x5 int array. (I posted this in the C forum but just found out i overlooked this forum which is probably the proper place for a Q like this)

In my code I have for sending(UDP) int distvector[5][5]:

Code:

        remoteServAddr.sin_port = htons(5000+i*1000);
        rc = sendto(sd, &distvector, sizeof((int)distvector[5][5]), 0,
        (struct sockaddr *) &remoteServAddr,
        sizeof(remoteServAddr));

And for recieving I have (UDP) int recv_DV[5][5]:

Code:

        recvfrom(sd, &recv_DV, sizeof((int)recv_DV[5][5]), 0,
         (struct sockaddr *) &cliAddr, &cliLen);

i dont recieve the right array, recv_DV[0][0] has an odd number in it (I suppose its the array's address) and the rest of the array is '0'. Also in the sendto() function I used distvector instead of &distvector but still the same result.

ne help would be much appreciated.

I got the array sending to work.

Basically the first parameter is the address of the first term/begining of the data and the size of tells how far fwd to go when sending.

I just used distvector and sizeof(distvector)

but i found out that though this allows me to send an array i didnt' fix my problem. And i figured out what it was, my UDP recieve buffer isnt' flushed.

I'm not sure how to flush my UDP socket? Any ideas.
