Re: [Quickfix-developers] Why port is of type short in initiator/acceptor classes

[Miller, O. <OM...@ri...>]

Actually it should be an unsigned short.  Even now you can use port =
60000.  It will print out as a negative number, but should work ok.

In any case, unsigned short is what we want as that is what the socket =
api expects.

Hi,

I'm new to quickfix and I'm using v1.5 in VC++7, Windows2K.

Why port is of type short in initiator/acceptor classes?  I have =
upcoming testing which will require ports around 60000.  Is changing the =
source code from short to int the best way?  Suggestions are most =
welcome.
