Ivan Murashko commented on THRIFT-966: -------------------------------------- The getBindPort() method should be called exactly after TServerSocket::listen() call. In other case the return value will be -1 (same as in the constructor). Somebody can use spin-lock to wait until the value become greater than 0 but in my case I used TServerEventHandler::preServe() hook to retrieve the real port number and store it at a shared place where client can find it. The solution worked without any issues for me. > Bind to zero port > ----------------- > > Key: THRIFT-966 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-966 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ - Library > Reporter: Ivan Murashko > Fix For: 0.7 > > Attachments: bindinfo_retrieval.diff > > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > apache::thrift::transport::TServerSocket class has a possibility to set 0 as > port number.
