Hello all,
I just thought I'd introduce myself to the list before asking questions.
I'm a software developer by profession and I work on a free game server tool
in my spare time. After adding a server-side portion to my app, I got
several requests for Linux support and I started looking at C/C++ and C# as
an option. A co-worker told me about Mono and I started working with the
0.23 release. Great job! I'm very impressed with the progress so far -
it's a huge thrill for me to take a binary and watch it work on both Windows
and Linux. I'm very excited about the future!
It's a simple TCP server that allows admins to have remote access to their
game consoles. So far, it's working pretty well, but I've come across a
couple things that, as far as I can tell, should be operational, but isn't
working for me.
I just installed 0.24 on RH8 without garbage collection. The "make" failed
with an invalid "-lgc" option (problem with configure?). I've run into two
problems with TcpListener and FileSystemWatcher....
[Newbie flame suit on]
I have a thread that calls "TcpListener.AcceptSocket()" and keeps looping
handling the new connection requests. This works great. However, when I go
to shut down, I call "TcpListener.Stop()" from a different thread and then
"Join" to wait for the server thread to exit. It never exists because the
server thread is still blocking on the "AcceptSocket()" call. Shouldn't
calling "Stop" interrupt the "AcceptSocket()" call? Or is that an invalid
assumption?
Also, I want to use FileSystemWatcher to watch for changes to my cfg files,
but after setting things up, it appears that after making changes to files
in the watched directory, the changed event never fires. It does work on
Windows, however. I do not get an exception - nothing happens. I'm using
the "FileSystemWatcher/FileSystemEventHandler" method rather than the
"WaitForChanged" method (I see that's not implemented yet :-).
[Newbie flame suit off]
I can post code if it's relevant...
Thanks,
Terry
