[usocket-devel] UDP support in usocket, ideas explained
by Erik Huelsmann 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

When looking at usocket.lisp, you'll find there is a datagram-usocket class commented out. I think this class (even without any additional slot definitions) should be used for UDP sockets. Then there's datagram-usocket-p, which should start returning T when the passed in object is a true descendant of DATAGRAM-USOCKET. Looking further, you'll find there are functions defined for creating stream and stream-server objects. A function like that should be created for UDP sockets. I think it's only sane to extend WAIT-FOR-INPUT to apply to UDP sockets as well as any of the currently supported sockets. The LispWorks variant of this function (for win32) is still on my laptop. I'll try to finish it up soon, so that you can all start testing it. I propose we implement recv()/recvfrom() as one function: SOCKET-RECEIVE. I think we shouldn't bother implementing recv() and recvfrom() as separate interfaces: I think we should return the recvfrom-address field as the second return value of SOCKET-RECEIVE. I also propose we implement send()/sendto() as one function: SOCKET-SEND. I think we should provide the sendto address as an optional parameter to the SOCKET-SEND function. Also, I think the function should check for connected-ness of the datagram socket. If the sendto address is specified on a connected socket AND the address specified is unequal to the connected address, the function should error. Oh. One last thing: local and peer address retrieval functions should be adapted to apply to UDP sockets as well as the currently supported stream sockets. I hope this is all a bit clear! If you have (m)any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Bye, Erik.

[usocket-devel] [bug] WAIT-FOR-INPUT cannot be called without :TIMEOUT
by Chun Tian (binghe) 02 Oct '08

Hi, usocket Just found a bug on 0.4.x branch, on LispWorks (non-win32 version). The WAIT-FOR-INPUT-INTERNAL function has a TRUNCATE operation on TIMEOUT: (defun wait-for-input-internal (wait-list &key timeout) (with-mapped-conditions () ;; unfortunately, it's impossible to share code between ;; non-win32 and win32 platforms... ;; Can we have a sane -pref. complete [UDP!?]- API next time, please? (dolist (x (wait-list-waiters wait-list)) (mp:notice-fd (os-socket-handle x))) (mp:process-wait-with-timeout "Waiting for a socket to become active" (truncate timeout) ;; IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #'(lambda (socks) (let (rv) (dolist (x socks rv) (when (usocket-listen x) (setf (state x) :READ rv t))))) (wait-list-waiters wait-list)) (dolist (x (wait-list-waiters wait-list)) (mp:unnotice-fd (os-socket-handle x))) wait-list))) So if I call WAIT-FOR-INPUT on a usocket instance with no TIMEOUT keyword supply, (TRUNCATE NIL) will be called, and error happens. How to fix this issue to make sure I can just wait "infinitely" on a usocket? Regards, Chun Tian (binghe)

[usocket-devel] What if a usocket instance be garbage collected?
by Chun Tian (binghe) 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hi, usocket devel If a usocket instance has been garbage collected (or just cannot refer to it, i. e. lost it by set the variable to new value), does anyone (either usocket or CL platform) will consider closing the correspond socket fd automatically? I know at least one CL platform, LispWorks, has some related API (HCL:ADD-SPECIAL-FREE-ACTION) [1], and I want to use it in my UDP applications. Just don't know if this will be a common feature to be considered by usocket itself. Any opinions? --binghe [1] http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw51/LWUG/html/lwuser-149.htm#pgfId-…

Hi Lars! Thanks for the report. Sorry for the delay; I finally committed your fix. I've applied a similar fix to SOCKET-LISTEN. Bye, Erik.
