Is the memset below needed? Stevens says sin_zero is
not used. Others on the newsgroups say clearing the field
is needed on a few platforms. I've left the memset in just
to be on the safe side.
sock_type cmw::udp_server (uint32_t port)
{
sock_type sd = getSocket(SOCK_DGRAM);
sockaddr_in si_me;
si_me.sin_family = AF_INET;
si_me.sin_port = htons(port);
si_me.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
::std::memset(&si_me.sin_zero, 0, sizeof(si_me.sin_zero));
if (::bind(sd, (sockaddr*) &si_me, sizeof(si_me))==-1) {
throw failure("udp Bind errno: ") << GetError();
}
return sd;
}
