tcpstream()

[Olle Hedman]

Hi.

I am haveing trubble with the tcpstream() constructor and/or the operator! function.

What I'm doing is simply this:

tcpstream server;  // should create an unopened tcpstream

while(!server) {    // while not open
  server.open(servers.get());   // try to open
}

where servers is a class with a circular linked list of servers.
But it never gets to the server.open() part.
if I remove the ! it gets stuck in the while.
It looks to me that it thinks the tcpstream is open when I created it with no parameters.

Or is it just me being stupid?

In the socket.h header, under class tcpstream, replace:

inline bool operator!()
    {return Socket::state == SOCKET_INITIAL;};

with

inline bool operator!()
    {return Socket::state != SOCKET_CONNECTED;};

This should produce the behavior you are looking for and should be
changed by the next release.

Thank you, that worked fine.

It's a really nice library you've got there, keep up the good work!

Hey.  I upgraded to 0.9.5 today and I noticed that you have written

inline bool operator!()
                    {return Socket::state == SOCKET_CONNECTED;};
instead of
inline bool operator!()
                    {return Socket::state != SOCKET_CONNECTED;};
as it should be..  this error is in 0.9.4 too..

You are correct...oops!
