Hi, I'm writing a UDP server where I set up 1 socket for multicast messages(SOCKET A) and 1 for the wildcard address ANY(SOCKET B). These sockets are monitored as IOChannels and added to the main event loop. Problem ---------- In case of receiving a single multicast message I get 1 event on SOCKET A and 1 event on SOCKET B. This is expected, but now I want to make sure that the events for SOCKET A is always handled before events SOCKET B. The reason I don't want to use the event priority feature is that I'm concerned with starvation of low priority events. Observation ------------- I have observed that the order of adding the IOChannels watches (SOCKET A/B) to the Main loop affects the order of their handling. If I add the SOCKET A event to the Main event loop before I add the SOCKET B event, SOCKET A events are always handled first which is the behavior I want. Question ------------- 1) Can this observed behavior be trusted or is it just a fluke? 2) Is my starvation concern unfounded? 3) Is there any other way to achieve what I want? Thanks for your insights BRs /Sune _________________________________________________________________ Var sommaren för kort?
