<p class=MsoNormal>Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m particularly interested in how people are dealing
with the enet_host_service blocking on receive when you have things to send…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have solved this problem already, but was curious as to
how others have solved the same problem. My solution involved making
(only for Win32 in my case) modifications to the enet_socket_wait function to
allow waiting on socket send and receive, as well as a “cancel wait”
event object (using WSAEventSelect, and WSAWaitForMultipleObjects). I
then added an additional function (enet_socket_cancel_wait) that signals the “cancel
wait” event object and wakes the network thread. From there, the
enet_host_service function returns with a timeout event from which I can then pluck
a queued send command from my queue (using lock-free queues). So, my main
thread queues a send command and then calls enet_socket_cancel_wait to wake the
network thread (in case it is waiting on recv) to process the send command.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>(Lee, if you’re interested in the changes, I can send
them to you.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
