threads and sockets

ns17-Aug-04 4:02

I have a "fileserver" which reads files requested by a client and delivers the data to the client via a socket. I want multiple clients to be able to use the server. I did:

  while(true)
  {
    SOCKET new_socket_fd;

    client_len = sizeof (struct sockaddr_in);
    new_socket_fd = accept (socket_fd, /*(struct sockaddr *) &client_addr,*/
			    NULL,
			    &client_len);

	LPVOID client = (LPVOID)&new_socket_fd;

	AfxBeginThread(ServerThread,client);

  }

}

THe thread talks back and forth with the client. I now run two instances of an application, each requesting a different set of files. Two threads get started, and then things are unpredictable. Sometimes one runs and one freezes, or both freeze. The threads I thought are using two different sockets so I dont understand what the problem is. Each client has its own socket.

In the thread I do stuff like:

bytes_read = recv(client, (char*)&net_req, sizeof(unsigned int), 0);

  rc = send (client, (char *) &sent_size, sizeof (unsigned int), 0);

What is happening in this scenario?

Maybe one of the operations, read, or send is BLOCKING(Waiting for something.) The "freeze" you mention may really be a BLOCKING action. Test for this with the debugger and make sure you return from each call to send and receive.

I hope this gives you some ideas.

Is this a release or debug problem or both?

I have had some strange deadlocks while using TRACE in multiple winsock threads. Just commenting out the TRACE statements enabled the application to run perfectly. This is DEBUG only as you can expect.

However this may not be your problem. When the application deadlocks, have you tried breaking into the code to see where it is within each thread? This normally gives you some idea of what thread it waiting for what. You ought to be able to find what functions are being called at the very least.

Hope this helps

Reading Events from the Event Log

Hi,
I have some problem regarding the reading of event from the system Event Log. I am programming in VC++ and wanted to know how to read the event description. The Windows API call ReadEventLog takes EVENTLOGRECORD as the parameter which does not have any field which returns event description. Can anybody please suggest me on this.
Any code snippets or examples would be useful.
Thanks
Abhishek.

What about the example that accompanies the ReadEventLog() documentation?

The example given in the MSDN documentation does not explain/mention about how to read the description part of an event. I could not find out how to read the description part of an event. Any example or code snippet for reading the description of an event log entry would be beneficial.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

You need to use the EventID and SourceName members of the EVENTLOGRECORD structure to locate the file containg the description strings.

As a side exercise, you may want to scan the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog\Application registry key for the EventMessageFile value. This value indicates the name of the file containing the various descriptions you see in Event Viewer.

Lastly, take a look at this article, especially the ShowEventData() function.

Is there some reason you recommnded the registry ControlSet001 instead of CurrentControlSet?
Just curious...

No reason other than it was the first key I came to that had the EventMessageFile value.

I would sure hate to have to navigate that many columns. Anyway, perhaps a grid control is more up to the task.

You're mixing float and int here.

Try including some or all of the following in your file:

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include "ipexport.h"
#include "icmpapi.h"

#pragma comment(lib, "Ws2_32.lib")

It may help.

Perform DUMPBIN /EXPORTS on both

Ws2_32.dll

and

iphlpapi.dll

and see if the function is actually exported from the DLL.

Maybe you typed the name wrong?

How come I got the following error when including my dialog1.h file twice in separate files.
The compiler brakes at:

<br />
class CDialog1 : public CDialog<br />
{<br />
// Construction<br />
public:<br />
	CDialog1 (CWnd* pParent = NULL);   // standard constructor<br />
	<br />
// Dialog Data<br />
	//{{AFX_DATA(CADTTOSIMDialog)<br />
	enum { IDD = IDD_DIALOG1 }; // BRAKES HERE AND GIVES THE ERROR: error C2065: 'IDD_DIALOG1' : undeclared identifier<br />
	//}}AFX_DATA <br />
…<br />
};<br />
…<br />

This error is followed by the “error C2057: expected constant expression”

Thanks
