Re: [boost] sockets library question
I have also recently joined this list and have lurked for some time, mainly to see if there was a socket library being developed. I saw several socket libraries in the Files section, but none of them were what I was looking for (I didn't want just a TCP socket library; I basically wanted a stream layer on top of the Windows/Unix/Linux socket functions). So I secretly began developing my own socket library which models the existing stream classes, such as basic_fstream (as I envision it would actually be incorporated into the standard, if that ever happens). Since the socket library topic has been brought up again, I have released my current code so that interested members can comment on it (note that it is far from complete, but it is in a fairly useful state). You download the library at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/socketstream/ . Note that this folder named "socketstream" does not contain an underscore, as another folder does. I have tested the code under Visual C++ 6 (W2K) and GCC 3.2.1 (Red Hat Linux 8.0). To test it, you need to compile test.cpp and run it (it'll print out the index page of Google). I will add more documentation and code as I have time (normally every 1-2 days). Hopefully, I'll provide server sockets and socket options (getsockopt/setsockopt) soon. If you are interested, please comment on it. I would especially like to know if the benefits of an Acceptor/Connector pattern would outweigh the additional complexity involved (specifically, how much more complicated the sample test.cpp file would get).

I agree. I believe that we need networking support in Boost (and in the C++ standard), but I do not know the status of any of the existing socket implementations.

[boost] sockets library question
I've recently joined this list, and I've lurked for a bit (trying to get the feel of the group), but I'm still not sure if this is on topic or not. If I need to be redirected elsewhere, please let me know. I noticed in the Sandbox CVS there are several socket implementations and, presumably, they're all based on streams. The question I have is: Is it likely for any of them to make it into the main CVS stream? Personally, I think it's a good idea that one of them does make it into the main CVS stream (as TCP/IP is quite ubiquitous these days...perhaps more so than threads.) Thanks for your time. ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
