GNU Common C++ Socket read question

[Adam]

Hi,

I'm using the GNU Common C++ library to read data from a TCPStream. In
the code below, why does the read not throw an exception if the socket
times out? (If I check the error code after the read, timeout error is
set).

Thanks,

Adam

try {
myTCPStream->read((char *) theBuffer, theLength);
}
catch ( ... ) {
if (myLog->isDebugEnabled()) {
myLog->debug("Caught stream exception.");

}

Adam,

Did you declare the variable "myTCPStream" as "ifstream myTCPStream;" or
some other variant?
try {
myTCPStream->read((char *) theBuffer, theLength);
}
catch ( ... ) {
if (myLog->isDebugEnabled()) {
myLog->debug("Caught stream exception.");

}

Evan,

Thanks for your response. myTCPStream is a class member pointer to an
ost::TCPStream that is instantiated in the constructor with:

//create tcp connection
myTCPStream = new TCPStream(
address,
port,
536,
true,
timeout);

Thanks,

Adam
