API reference / Net

TcpSocketBase class

A TCP socket of the given IP version, on a plain or an asynchronous socket.

On this page
Use
import ThinkMeta.ConcurrentTasks.Net.TcpSocket;
Namespace
ThinkMeta::ConcurrentTasks::Net
Inherits
IpSocketBase
Platforms
Windows, Linux

Syntax

template <IpVersionType _IpVersion, SocketType _BaseSocket>
class TcpSocketBase : public IpSocketBase<_IpVersion, _BaseSocket>

Template parameters

_IpVersionIpVersionType
The IP version: IpVersion::V4 or IpVersion::V6.
_BaseSocketSocketType
The socket class built on: Platform::Socket (blocking calls) or AsyncIo::AsyncSocket.

Remarks

Adds the TCP form of Create and the TCP options to IpSocketBase. Owns its socket like Socket.

TcpSocket, AsyncIo::AsyncTcpSocket

Names

NameDescription
TcpSocket A blocking (plain Platform::Socket) TCP socket of the given IP version.
TcpSocket4 A blocking TCP socket over IPv4.
TcpSocket6 A blocking TCP socket over IPv6.

Constructors

TcpSocketBase

Creates an object without a socket.

Syntax

TcpSocketBase() noexcept = default;

Takes over other's socket; other is left without one.

Syntax

TcpSocketBase(TcpSocketBase&& other) noexcept = default;

Parameters

otherTcpSocketBase&&
The object whose socket is taken over; it holds no socket afterwards.

Methods

operator=

Takes over other's socket; a socket this object already holds is closed first.

Syntax

TcpSocketBase& operator=(TcpSocketBase&& other) noexcept = default;

Parameters

otherTcpSocketBase&&
The object whose socket is taken over; it holds no socket afterwards.

Return value

Type: TcpSocketBase&

This object.

Create

Windows only

Creates a TCP socket of the IP version (SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP).

Syntax

SocketErrorCode Create(
    WSAPROTOCOL_INFO* protocolInfo = nullptr,
    GROUP g = 0,
    DWORD flags = 0
) noexcept;

Parameters

protocolInfoWSAPROTOCOL_INFO*
Optional WSAPROTOCOL_INFO selecting the provider; nullptr for the default.Default: nullptr
gGROUP
The Winsock socket group; 0 for none.Default: 0
flagsDWORD
Further WSA_FLAG_* flags; 0 for none.Default: 0

Return value

Type: SocketErrorCode

Platform::SocketError::Success, or the error of creating the socket.

Linux only

Creates a TCP socket of the IP version (SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP).

Syntax

SocketErrorCode Create() noexcept;

Return value

Type: SocketErrorCode

Platform::SocketError::Success, or the error of creating the socket.

SetOptionNoDelay

Sets TCP_NODELAY: send small segments at once instead of waiting to fill them (Nagle off).

Syntax

SocketErrorCode SetOptionNoDelay(bool noDelay) noexcept;

Parameters

noDelaybool
true to send at once, false for the default (Nagle's algorithm).

Return value

Type: SocketErrorCode

Platform::SocketError::Success, or the error of setsockopt.

GetOptionNoDelay

Gets the TCP_NODELAY setting.

Syntax

SocketErrorCode GetOptionNoDelay(bool* noDelay) noexcept;

Parameters

noDelaybool*
Required. Receives true if Nagle's algorithm is off.

Return value

Type: SocketErrorCode

Platform::SocketError::Success, or the error of getsockopt.

Types

SockAddr

The socket address type of the IP version (sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6).

Syntax

using SockAddr = typename _Traits::SockAddr;
