hi, this is the code that makes the server socket // create the server socket and return the file descriptor fd = tcp_server_listerner_new(new_server->configurations,&error); if(fd < 0) { g_error("Could not create listener, server creation aborted: %s",error->message); g_error_free(error); return NULL; }
// create the GIOChannel for the server socket new_server->socket = g_io_channel_unix_new(fd); // set the encoding safe to read binary data on the server GIOChannel g_io_channel_set_encoding(new_server->socket,NULL,NULL); // create a source for connection events on the server socket new_server->event_source = g_io_create_watch(new_server->socket,G_IO_IN|G_IO_PRI|G_IO_ERR|G_IO_HUP|G_IO_NVAL); // set the callback function to handle connection events g_source_set_callback(new_server->event_source,(GSourceFunc)tcp_server_handle_connection_events,new_server,NULL); // attach the server socket connection event source to the server context g_source_attach(new_server->event_source,new_server->context); new_server->main_loop = g_main_loop_new(new_server->context,FALSE); and this is how i run the main loop: void tcp_server_run(GMTCPServer *p_server) { // run the main loop now g_main_loop_run(p_server->main_loop); g_thread_exit(NULL); } this method is run from the main thread like this: gm_tcp_server->server_thread = g_thread_create((GThreadFunc)tcp_server_run,gm_tcp_server,TRUE,/*&error*/NULL); and this is how i create the server socket: int tcp_server_listerner_new(const Configurations *p_configurations,GError **p_error) { int fd; struct sockaddr_in servAddr; int set_option = 1; // create the socket fd = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP); if(fd < 0) { *p_error = g_error_new(G_IO_CHANNEL_ERROR,G_IO_CHANNEL_ERROR_FAILED,"Could not create server socket: %s",strerror(errno)); return -1; } // set some options on the socket fcntl(fd,F_SETFL,O_NONBLOCK);// set the socket non-blocking setsockopt(fd,SOL_SOCKET,SO_REUSEADDR,&set_option,sizeof(set_option));// reuse address setsockopt(fd,SOL_SOCKET,SO_KEEPALIVE,&set_option,sizeof(set_option));// send keep alive messages // construct local address structure memset(&servAddr,0x00, sizeof(servAddr)); servAddr.sin_family = AF_INET; servAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(p_configurations->tcp_server.interface); servAddr.sin_port = htons(p_configurations->tcp_server.port); // Bind to the local address if(bind(fd,(struct sockaddr*)&servAddr,sizeof(servAddr)) < 0) { *p_error = g_error_new(G_IO_CHANNEL_ERROR,G_IO_CHANNEL_ERROR_FAILED,"Could not bind server socket: %s",strerror(errno)); // close the socket close(fd); return -1; } if(listen(fd,10) < 0) { *p_error = g_error_new(G_IO_CHANNEL_ERROR,G_IO_CHANNEL_ERROR_FAILED,"Could not start listening on the server socket: %s",strerror(errno)); // close the socket close(fd); return -1; } return fd; } thanks !

And if you started a Thread and a loop inside it, it will stay interacting if you don't stop it, this will consume CPU for sure. I think you must work with signals or interrupts, I'm not sure about GIOChannel, maybe a snipt would clear a bit.
