Hello,
This is related to Not picking up some messages, but I decided to make another topic.
Is an OnReceive() event fired for each message received or is it fired once for a set of messages received? For example, let's say that ten messages are sent by the server and OnReceive() fires. Should I keep on doing multiple Receive()s? If so, how do I know when to stop reading (in Unix recv() blocks)?
Or are there 10 OnReceive()s fired?
Thanks,
Yasir
I have determined that if n packets are sent to me, n OnReceive events are fired. However, even though I get three packets sent (this is verified by Ethereal), I don't get three OnReceives fired. I verified this by logging some output to a file each time OnReceive is fired. When I received three messages in three separate packets from the server, I only get two events fired. This driving me insane. Is there any reason why this would happen? Sometimes everything works fine.
All the findings I am stating are upon application restart.
Figured out what the problem was: you can't do two Receive()s on one OnReceive() event. MS has documented that as well. All though MS only mentions Receive(), I guess CArchive::Read() produces the same results.
I was doing one Receive() before as well, but I would sometimes get only two events fired even though I sent three messages. The problem was that messages were being coalesced into one packet because of Nagle's algorithm. I wrote an algorithm to handle that and partial sends as well.
This has caused me a lot of wasted time, and I hope it helps others.
