Hi folks,

I'm having an issue with the tcp-connect function. When it fails to connect, it seems not to clean up properly, so that I end up with lots of open ports.

Try this code:

 (require-extension tcp)

 (define (error-info e)
   ((condition-property-accessor 'exn 'message) e))

 (define (test-tcp-connect)
   (condition-case
     (tcp-connect "localhost" 8000)
     (e (exn i/o net) (print (error-info e)))))

assuming there is nothing on port 8000.  Then,

(let loop ((i 0)) (when (< i 2000) (test-tcp-connect) (loop (+ i 1))))

I get,

 can not create socket - Connection refused
 can not create socket - Connection refused
 ...
 can not create socket - Too many open files
 can not create socket - Too many open files
 ...

I'm using Version 2.731 - linux-unix-gnu-x86.

Versions before 3.0 are unsupported AFAIK. Packaged sources are available at the Chicken website: http://call-with-current-continuation.org as are instructions for accessing the source repository.

You should know the release of Chicken 4 is imminent. At which point Chicken 3 will go into maintenance mode.

Is this a bug, or is there some way for me to release these ports when I handle the exception?

Thanks!
Matt
