Hi,
I am trying to encapsulate Linux sockets and POSIX threads in C++ classes (I work in Knoppix, using KDevelop). Since sockets and threads are new to me, I searched for example code and found the following: -
-
#include <stdlib.h>
-
#include <stdio.h>
-
#include <string.h>
-
#include <errno.h>
-
#include <netdb.h>
-
#include <signal.h>
-
#include <fcntl.h>
-
#include <netinet/ip.h>
-
#include <pthread.h>
-
-
struct sockaddr_in getipa(const char*, int);
-
void printerror(const char*);
-
-
void* runclient(void*);
-
void* runserver(void*);
-
-
int main(){
-
pthread_t server;
-
pthread_t client;
-
-
if(pthread_create(&server, NULL, runserver, NULL) != 0){
-
puts("Could not create server thread");
-
-
return EXIT_FAILURE;
-
}
-
-
if(pthread_create(&client, NULL, runclient, NULL) != 0){
-
puts("Could not create client thread");
-
-
return EXIT_FAILURE;
-
}
-
-
pthread_join(server, NULL);
-
pthread_join(client, NULL);
-
-
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
-
}
-
-
struct sockaddr_in getipa(const char* hostname, int port){
-
struct sockaddr_in ipa;
-
ipa.sin_family = AF_INET;
-
ipa.sin_port = htons(port);
-
-
struct hostent* localhost = gethostbyname(hostname);
-
if(!localhost){
-
printerror("resolveing localhost");
-
-
return ipa;
-
}
-
-
char* addr = localhost->h_addr_list[0];
-
memcpy(&ipa.sin_addr.s_addr, addr, sizeof addr);
-
-
return ipa;
-
}
-
-
void printerror(const char* action){
-
int errnum = errno;
-
errno = 0;
-
-
if(errnum > 0){
-
printf("An error occured while %s.nError code: %inError description: %sn",
-
action, errnum, strerror(errnum));
-
}else if(h_errno > 0){
-
printf("An error occured while %s.nError code: %inError description: %sn",
-
action, h_errno, hstrerror(h_errno));
-
-
h_errno = 0;
-
}else{
-
printf("An error occured while %s.n There is no error data.n", action);
-
}
-
}
-
-
void* runserver(void* context){
-
struct protoent* tcp;
-
tcp = getprotobyname("tcp");
-
-
int sfd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, tcp->p_proto);
-
if(sfd == -1){
-
printerror("createing a tcp socket");
-

return NULL;
-
}
-
-
struct sockaddr_in isa = getipa("localhost", 1025);
-
-
if(bind(sfd, (struct sockaddr*)&isa, sizeof isa) == -1){
-
printerror("binding socket to IP address");
-
-
return NULL;

This is C code, but I thought, "If I get this working, encapsulating in classes will be easy". The problem is that this code works fine only the first run; afterwards, it cannot resolve the IP address. Which could be the reason?
2  24283 
I discovered that changing the port number and recompiling allows for another succesful run (only once, like before). Therefore, it seems to me that ports are not freed after the program finishes. How can I do that?
Well, I figured it out myself: Even if you close a socket correctly, it takes a maximum of 60 seconds for it to be freed: I ran the first time OK; then I waited a minute, ran again and had no problems. So that's it, I hope this helps someone.

I want to display memory content using C++ on LINUX. For example, the

to access invalid memory.I understand that in Windows OS there is a

a similar function in Linux? How does gdb display memory content?
