I am facing a peculiar problem with my clients server application. I have written a console based multithreaded client server. Multiple Client try to send and receive data thousand times. When i run more than one client, my old client stops sending receiving data and new client starts operation. I am unable to understand why my first client gets blocked when i start another client.
Seriously, what else can we guess/surmise, based on the meager description that you provided.
The error might lie with the server, in that the server stops servicing older clients when a new client arrives. Go to the "Multithreaded Server" example at http://tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/exampl...ed-server.html and compare your code to the sample
since you got multiple clients, you need multiple FD's to set
if you don't set the FD on the client (server-side talking) and try to send( ) on that socket, it will not work.
what you need to do is enumerate all your clients into a container and set the FD's on their socket and have a variable to define the number of fd's you have totally set.
after that you can try to select( ) on all the sockets (easiest way)
