TcpServer class with libuv thread, socket pkg and a Qt GUI

[Oscar]

Hello everyone,

  I implemented a TcpServer  module (re-inventing the wheel for fun) that uses the socket package and the thread API from libuv. I tried to have it update a textbox whenever a client connects but instead got this error:

"Line 1 Error (R24) : Using uninitialized variable : tcpserver
in file Ring_EmbeddedCode QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread"

Can you please help me troubleshoot the problem by unpacking the attached archive and running Main.ring in debug mode? If you get past the above error, please also run time_client.ring in order to send requests to the server.

Thank you!

Oscar.

Hello Oscar,

here is how you can do it (see attachment). Please note: I had to use "new Local { close(client_sock) }" trick to escape TcpServer scope, otherwise objectslib's close function is called. Wonder if there is a better way to do it.

Thanks a lot Ilir!

Your contributions helped med understand how to better navigate the global and object scopes in Ring.

Great fix!

Oscar.
