TcpServerSocket blocking ::Accept

[Vojtěch Frič]

Hi,
is there any way to make Accept in TcpServerSocket blocking? I don't really see an advantage when it's non-blocking.

I can easily fix this, by tinkering with your code, but I would like to know, if there is something I missed.

Thanks,
vf

Hi,

there is an advantage of non-blocking behaviour. Normally, you should use it along with WaitSet, so you could wait for incoming connections and some other events at the same time.

But if you really need blocking behaviour, you can achieve it using WaitSet like this:

TCPServerSocket s;
s.Open(...);
...
ting::WaitSet ws(1);
ws.Add(s, ting::Waitable::READ);
...
ws.Wait();
if(s.CanRead()){
    TCPSocket sock = s.Accept();
    ...
}else{
    //error happened
    ...
}
...
ws.Remove(s);

Great that's exactly what I need. I want main thread to block, until there is new connection, and after accepting the new connection, I will take care of the new connection in other thread.
