RE: [WinPcap-users] Why is pcap_loop deprecated?
Hi. -Original Message- From: Rob Henningsgard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: venerdi 14 maggio 2004 20.32 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WinPcap-users] Why is pcap_loop deprecated? Hello all, Can anyone tell me why pcap_loop() is deprecated? I am writing a multi-threaded application in which I want to use (or simulate) overlapped IO, and pcap_loop() looks like exactly what I'd want to use. The idea of a polling approach, looping on the call to pcap_next_ex() just doesn't seem like the right way to go. We (WinPcap maintainers) believe that a polling mechanism is much cleaner to understand and to use. We can see that most of the people that are going to start coding with libpcap/WinPcap have problems to understand the pcap_loop() (and the corresponding callback function) mechanism. So, we believe the pcap_next_ex() is much better. Feel free to use pcap_loop() if you prefer that one. fulvio == This is the WinPcap users list.

[WinPcap-users] ANNOUNCE: WinPcap 3.1 beta3 has been released
The beta3 of WinPcap 3.1 is available from today in the download section of the WinPcap site. WinPcap 3.1 beta3 is a minor update, that fixes a couple of bugs present in beta2, that prevented it to work on Windows 9x. CHANGELOG = - Bug fixing: + Fixed a bug related to device listing if TCP/IP is not installed: on 2000/XP if TCP is not installed, it reported you must install TCP/IP, and this was plain wrong. + Added PacketSetSnapLen() under Win9x. Without this function, wpcap.dll fails to load on Win9x. + PacketGetAdapterNames() has been rewritten under Win9x, in order to comply to the correct behavior specified in the documentation. = == This is the WinPcap users list.
