Select() UDP and TCP

themadme

hi. ok my problem is that i have been using TCP for a while and now i want to change to UDP. Im using the select I/0 method.

i have a listening thread like this :

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
void Server::vListeningThread( LPVOID pParam )

{

    Server *pServer = (Server*)pParam;

    SOCKET socketClient;

    do

    {

        socketClient = accept( *pServer->p_socketServer, 0, 0 );
 
        if ( socketClient == SOCKET_ERROR || pServer->usNumberOfClients >= pServer->usMAX_CLIENTS ) 

        {

            // send an error code to client //////////////////////////////////////

            closesocket( socketClient );

        }

        else 

        {

            WaitForSingleObject( pServer->handleMutex, INFINITE );

            FD_SET( socketClient, &pServer->fdsetMaster );

            ReleaseMutex( pServer->handleMutex );

            pServer->usNumberOfClients++;

        }
 
    }while( pServer->bConnected );
 
}

now im unsure how to change it into UDP.

does the new socket of data that has been sent go straight into the FD_SET? Therefore when im polling through the set i would have to check if it has been set or not?

Please help, im a little bit confused with this?

thanks

This looks like C/C++ code, am I right?

If so, I will move this over to the C/C++ Forum.

well yeah, im using WinSock, thought it would more suitable for the network forums. Ok please move it to the c++ forums
