multiple threads accepting on the same socket

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I would like to use multiple threads accepting on the same socket. This is for a self-written webserver.

I haven't quite figured out how to do this with cc++, is it at all possible?

In pseudo code that would be:

server_socket = new Socket;
fork(); (a few times, to create X servers)

while(1)
{
  connection_socket = accept(server_socket);
  ... do stuff with connection
  close(connection_socket);
}

One could create multiple instances of TCPSessions from a common TCPSocket
all at once, and this would have the effect you desire.  However, TCPSession is usually best for long duration sessions.  Another way to do this might be with a "TCP" based "SocketPort" and a thread service pool.
