Passing the number of sent bytes to the callback is superfluous;
datagram sockets operate in atomic mode: either the sendmsg() system
call succeeds or it fails but it never does partial writes.
Instead, report send errors to the callback. UDP error reporting is
fairly haphazard on most platforms. You should not expect reliable
delivery of anything besides EMSGSIZE and (possibly) ENETDOWN and
ENETUNREACH.
Fixes#2608.
Libuv now returns errors directly. Make everything in src/ and lib/
follow suit.
The changes to lib/ are not strictly necessary but they remove the need
for the abominations that are process._errno and node::SetErrno().
I broke dgram.Socket#bind(port, cb) almost a year ago in 332fea5a but
it wasn't until today that someone complained and none of the tests
caught it because they all either specify the address or omit the
callback.
Anyway, now it works again and does what you expect: it binds the
socket to the "any" address ("0.0.0.0" for IPv4 and "::" for IPv6.)
child.send can send net servers and sockets. Now that we have support
for dgram clusters this functionality should be extended to include
dgram sockets.
When a datagram socket hasn't been bound yet, node will defer `send()`
operations until binding has completed. Before this patch a `listening`
listener would be installed every time `send` was called. This triggered
an EventEmitter leak warning when more than 10 packets were sent in a
tight loop. Therefore switch to using a single `listening` listener, and
use an array to enqueue outbound packets.
Raise a TypeError when the argument to send() or sendto() is anything
but a Buffer.
Fixes the following assertion:
$ node -e 'require("dgram").createSocket("udp4").send("BAM")'
node: ../../src/udp_wrap.cc:220: static v8::Handle<v8::Value>
node::UDPWrap::DoSend(const v8::Arguments&, int): Assertion
`Buffer::HasInstance(args[0])' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Fixes#4496.
Calling send() on an unbound socket forces an implicit bind to
a random port.
332fea5 made the 'listening' event asynchronous. Unfortunately,
it also introduced a bug where the implicit bind was tried more
than once if send() was called again before the first bind operation
completed.
Address that by keeping track of the bind status and making sure that
bind() is called only once.
Fixes#4499.
- throw if the ttl argument is not a number
- return the ttl argument (not particulary useful but it's what v0.4 did)
Note that the 0 < ttl < 256 check has *not* been reinstated. On Linux, -1 is a
valid argument to setsockopt(IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL).
