Igor:
        Heya. Last thing, am curious if you've seen this one
before. Not sure if it's relevant to VC++ SP4 or not...

the fix given below



FIX: Unhandled Exception Using MFC Sockets in Visual C++ 6.0



Q193101





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:



The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), used with:

Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 6.0



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





SYMPTOMS

When using MFC sockets in secondary threads in a statically linked MFC Visual C++ 6.0 
application, an unhandled exception occurs.







CAUSE

The reason for the unhandled exception is that an object of type CMapPtrToPtr pointer, 
pointed to by m_pmapSocketHandle, is never created.







RESOLUTION

The handle maps used by the sockets need to be created for each thread. The following 
code shows a function to do this:





   void SocketThreadInit()

   {

   #ifndef _AFXDLL

   #define _AFX_SOCK_THREAD_STATE AFX_MODULE_THREAD_STATE

   #define _afxSockThreadState AfxGetModuleThreadState()



      _AFX_SOCK_THREAD_STATE* pState = _afxSockThreadState;

      if (pState->m_pmapSocketHandle == NULL)

         pState->m_pmapSocketHandle = new CMapPtrToPtr;

      if (pState->m_pmapDeadSockets == NULL)

         pState->m_pmapDeadSockets = new CMapPtrToPtr;

      if (pState->m_plistSocketNotifications == NULL)

         pState->m_plistSocketNotifications = new CPtrList;



   #endif

   }

This function should be called once in each secondary thread before the first socket 
is created in the new thread.







STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the 
beginning of this article.



This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. You will need to call 
AfxSocketInit() in each thread that uses sockets.



For more information about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following 
articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:







Q194022 INFO: Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs, What, Where, Why

Q194295 HOWTO: Tell That Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs Are Installed







MORE INFORMATION

In MFC socket applications, AfxSocketInit is called once, by default, in the primary 
thread. This function creates the handle maps for the primary thread when statically 
linked to MFC. However, when a secondary thread is created, these per-thread handle 
maps are not created. AfxSocketInit must be called in each thread to initialize the 
socket libraries.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create an application that creates a socket in a secondary thread and uses MFC in a 
static link library. You can use the MultiSoc sample described in the following 
Knowledge Base article by changing the project settings to use MFC in a static library:





Q175668 FILE: MultiSoc: Illustrates Using Sockets in Multiple Threads

Run the application and create a socket in a secondary thread.
