[ENet-discuss] Missing disconnect event

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to track down an issue in one of my ENet server daemons. I'm not
sure if this is an issue in my code or in ENet's, but I wanted to put some
feelers out to see if any of you have experienced something similar.

 

Basically, what's happening is that a client fails to connect to the server
from time to time. From the client's perspective, the connection is
established successfully and it gets back an ENET_EVENT_TYPE_CONNECT event
from ENet. From the server's perspective, however, an
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_CONNECT event is never received, but instead
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECT is fired for the new connection.

 

After taking a look at the server log, it appears the following is happening
on the server:

 

1.       The server calls enet_peer_disconnect () with an ENetPeer object to
close the connection to a client. 

2.       ENet never fires an ENET_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECT event for this.

3.       When a new (and different) client connects, ENet reuses the other
client's ENetPeer object (the object has the same memory address), but fires
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECT rather than ENET_EVENT_TYPE_CONNECT.

 

It'd seem that the ENetPeer object is somehow in a weird state internally in
ENet.

 

Thoughts?
