Re: Non-blocking udp socket memory leak

ha i found it. its not wince issue. its due to thread lockup issue in my code.
i have a select() call for recvfrom() as i am using non-blocking socket, which blocks the thread.

hi
when i make udp socket to non-blocking with,
WSAIoctl(s, FIONBIO, &enable, sizeof(enable), NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL)

the connection works fine. but when i close the socket it leaks memory. Looks this issue was a known bug in wince.net4.0

but i assume this was fixed with later versions. i am using winmobile6 which runs wince5; so it should be fine.

my goal is for non-blocking sendto(..).

any clue?

regards
