Thanks to those who replied to my Itanium Endianness question.
While looking at the issues in going from UV 10.0 (HP-UX) to a later version, I
came across a fix to the readSocket function for a bug we didn't realise was a
bug.
'Problems Fixed in UniVerse Release 10.3.7 (Build 4185)
Issue Short Description
----- -----------------
6739 UniVerse -- When blocking mode was set to 1, a timeout on a
readsocket caused the socket to be unusable. A message
similar to the following example appeared:
"readSocket1: The virtual circuit was terminated
due to a time-out or other failure. The application
should close the socket as it is no longer usable."'
We have a system that uses readSocket in this way and copes with the erroneous
error. What will happen under the fix when there's a timeout ? Will this just
appear as a successful read with an empty read buffer and an actual_read_size
of zero ?
Thanks,
