Sorry but this is another "where do I find" question. I'm doing various
stuff which is best done at the level of the sockets library, I might wrap
it as a component later. What is the correct way to get TFDSET, FD_ZERO,
select() etc. so as to be portable under unix? Windows is no problem-
they're all in winsock.
When using the sockets library I'm getting compiler warnings such as
'Symbol "RecvFrom" is deprecated'. What exactly is something trying to tell
me here, and what should I be doing about it?
The old 1.0.x symbols have been deprecated in 2.2.0+, new variants exist
that have proper typing and (standarized) errorhandling. These new variants
are called prefix with fp, so fprecvfrom.
These are all documented in
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sockets/index-5.html (though badly,
they are not aliases, they are the real thing)
The deprecated functions are also possibly buggy, don't use them. There are
several bugreports with these functions behaving strange.
Thanks Marco, I see them now.
Any thoughts on how to get select() and associated procedures working?
