Re: bug in socket.cpp

[David Sugar]

From what I gather, depending on which version of the platform sdk you 
have installed with VC++ 6.0 (whether the one it originally comes with, 
or the latest one), you either MUST include windows.h before, or after 
winsock2.h or everything will break. and there is no easy way to find 
out which you have until you include some header!  You can from what I 
gather install the current platform sdk for use with vc6.  This also 
gives you support for building apps that use ipv6 with vc6 and some 
other "missing" api's.

Hi,
I compiled commoncpp2-1.3.8 and tried tcpstr1 with VC++ 6.0, SDK installed.
There was 2 problems:
1st in config.h I have to comment Line 83 :
//#define       HAVE_PLATFORMSDK
because I need to include <windows.h> before <winsock2.h>.
---------------------------
2nd in socket.cpp Line 2572 :
       if(!cp)
                cp = strrchr(namebuf, ':');
        if(!cp)
        {
                endStream();
                connectError();
                return;
        }
        
        *(cp++) = 0;       // << ----------------------- this line is missing
        if(isdigit(*cp))
                port = atoi(cp);
in all other cases where this sequence is used, it seemed to be OK.
Best regards
