Lacking function in RingLibuv

[Mansour Ayouni]

Hello Mahmoud,

The function destroy_uv_sockaddr_in() is used in this sample at the end of the start() method:

https://ring-lang.github.io/doc1.23/libuv.html#server-example-using-classes

but it's not implemented in the extension:

https://github.com/ring-lang/ring/blob/master/extensions/ringlibuv/libuv.ring

Therefore, when I use it in my code I get an undefined function error message.

All the best,

Mansour

Hello Mahmoud,

I solved the issue by just nullifying the addr variable (addr = NULL) and escaping the function altogether.

Best,

Mansour

Hello Mansour

The related functions defined by the RingLibuv extension are

* new_sockaddr_in
* new_managed_sockaddr_in
* destroy_sockaddr_in

Thanks for the report :D

The documentation is updated in this commit:  Update Documentation - Using RingLibuv · ring-lang/ring@aca4593

Samples are updated in this commit:  Update samples: samples/UsingLibUV/ex3_server.ring and samples/UsingL… · ring-lang/ring@d870d42

(1) If the structure memory is allocated using new_sockaddr_in() then using destroy_sockaddr_in() is important to avoid a memory leak.

(2) If the structure memory is allocated using new_managed_sockaddr_in() then no need to call destroy function and Ring VM will manage the pointer and free memory automatically (using reference counting)
