I figure they have a chance to find it.

The problem was it would not initialize sockets..
(code downloaded from the svn btw.)

InitializeSockets() in Net.h (obviously..)

I removed all the plattform independent code, windows only now.
for easier read.

inline bool InitializeSockets()
{
WSADATA WsaData;
return WSAStartup( MAKEWORD(2,2), &WsaData ) == NO_ERROR;
}

It only worked with the return on a line by it self with wsastartup:

inline bool InitializeSockets()
{
WSADATA WsaData;
WSAStartup( MAKEWORD(2,2), &WsaData ) == !NO_ERROR;
return WSAStartup;
}

My question:
Do this change anything major?
Or nothing at all.

I am trying to study and understand the code
Using VS2010 Express.

Packets in the queue larger than your receive buffer will be silently discarded. So if you have a 256 byte buffer to receive packets like the code above, and somebody sends you a 300 byte packet, the 300 byte packet will be dropped. You will not receive just the first 256 bytes of the 300 byte packet.

but my linux manpage(7 udp) says:

All receive operations return only one packet. When the packet is smaller than the passed buffer, only that much data is returned; when it is bigger, the packet is truncated and the MSG_TRUNC flag is set. MSG_WAITALL is not supported.

What is correct now? (and what is portable, since maybe I /want/ to always drop messages bigger)

Hi everyone,

I am using UDP socket to transmit data from a windows program to a program on Linux. The application on Linux receives data and the application on windows sends data. The problem is the function recvfrom(…) return the same data 2 times. So, I wonder if there is any way to set so that the socket will automatically remove data read from the socket queue? (TCP/IP socket does not have this problem).
Thanks very much,
Tin,
