While playing with sockets and threads, I noticed that while my tcp socket is correctly closed, the associated udp socket (managed by Cygwin) is not. This was tested with(out) Firewall && Antivirus on 2 WinXP computers with cygwin 1.5.25.
Is that a known problem with Cygwin (code is fine under Linux Debian) ? testcase : - ./main.exe (netstat shows 2 sockets (one tcp on port 1025 && one udp) - telnet 127.0.0.1 1025 (netstat shows 4 sockets : 2 tcp && 2 udp ) - netstat -ab shows 3 sockets (one tcp on port 1025 && two udp). src : --- begin --- #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <errno.h> #include <string.h> #define MAXTHREADS 4 pthread_mutex_t __mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER; struct thrdata { int thrnum; pthread_t t; int socket_fd; int socket_errno; }th[MAXTHREADS]; int thread_code( void *p ); int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd; struct sockaddr_in sa; int i; sa.sin_family = AF_INET; sa.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY); sa.sin_port = htons(1025); fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP); printf("socket id : %d\n", fd); if( bind( fd, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa) ) == -1 ) printf("bind error\n"); if( listen( fd, 0 ) == -1 ) printf("listen error\n"); printf("creating threads\n"); for(i=0; i<MAXTHREADS; i++) { th[i].thrnum = i; th[i].socket_fd = fd; printf("thread %d\n", i); pthread_create(&th[i].t, NULL, thread_code, (void *)&(th[i])); sleep(1); } for(i=0; i<MAXTHREADS; i++) { pthread_join(th[i].t, NULL); } printf("exiting\n"); return 1; } int thread_code( void *p ) { struct thrdata *pt = (struct thrdata *)p; int fd = pt->socket_fd; int fd_client; struct sockaddr_in sa_client; int sin_size; int i; char buf; // printf("thread, fd : %d\n", fd); for( ;; ) { pthread_mutex_lock(&__mutex); /* begin critical area */ fd_client = accept( fd, (struct sockaddr *)&sa_client, &sin_size ); if( fd_client < 0 ) printf("accept error\n"); pthread_mutex_unlock(&__mutex); /* end critical area */ if( fd_client > 0 ) { printf("accept fd : %d, fd_client : %d\n", fd, fd_client ); for(i=0; i<20; i++) { send( fd_client, "hello\n", strlen("hello"), 0 ); sleep(1); } printf("closing fd_client : %d\n", fd_client ); close( fd_client ); } } return 1; } --- end --- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
