[ENet-discuss] How can I get the client port created in my client side (Soren Dreijer)

[Siqi Shen]

Thanks for your reply. Setting port in enet_host_create is not flexible
enough, as I may create more than 20 processes/threads.  I think that once
a udp diagram has been setup ( sendto() function has been called), the udp
port  in the client side is determine and it will be consistent across the
whole application if we don't change the port manually.

As I am using Win7 64bit. I use "netstat -an -p udp -o" to get the udp port
and process id mapping and find that the UDP port I created in my process
through enet is consistent. And as described in MSDN
"http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms740148%28VS.85%29.aspx" that "If
a socket is opened, a
*setsockopt*<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms740476(v=vs.85).aspx>
call
is made, and then a *sendto* call is made, Windows Sockets performs an
implicit *bind* function call."
so we can get the port through
"*getsockname*<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738543(v=vs.85).aspx>
 " function.  But I can not get the port in enet (I want to use the port
number for debugging).  Do you have a better solution besides setting
port manually?
