Project: GNU Smalltalk
Version: <none>
Component: Bindings (other)
Category: feature requests
Priority: normal
Assigned to: bonzinip
Reported by: elmex
Updated by: elmex
Status: patch
The patch enables TCP_NODELAY now for every socket flush as far
as I can see it. Is that intended?
The tcp delay, aka. nagles algorithm has it's applications and
disabling
it should be done only in special applications (eg. where low-latency
for is required) IMO.
So a more optional interface would be better I guess. Something like:
socket setTCPNoDelay: true/false
would be enough IMO.
"valueWithoutBuffering:" is ok, I guess, as additional feature.
The Socket>>#flush method in that patch does always use
valueWithoutBuffering.
I would probably introduce a new method with a more verbost name
instead,
something like flushWithoutTCPDelay :-)
The patch is ok, I would just make the functionality optional.
