Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Question on Gnucleus socket Close()

Hi swabby,

what is the purpose of your extra code in the sockets Close() method? Would it make a difference if I leave it away?
I mean this code snippet:
Code:
	// Clean receive buffer
	int iRet = 0;
	byte pBuf[4096];	
	while( (iRet = Receive(pBuf, 4096)) > 0 );

	// Close socket
	AsyncSelect(0);
Mutella (a kind of Unix reincarnation) does something different:
Code:
	AsyncSelect(FD_CLOSE);
	ShutDown(2);
Thx for some helping words, Moak

It seems you try a friendly shutdown, while Max from Mutella loves it the hard way to disconnect.

About friendly disconnect, shouldn't it be:

while(m_bDataSending && !m_bForceDisconnect); //wait until send buffer cleared
AsyncSelect(0);
Shutdown(1); //perform a friendly TCP shutdowm
while(Receive(m_aBuffer, sizeof(m_aBuffer))>0 && !m_bForceDisconnect);
CAsyncSocket::Close()

Greets, Moak

PS: Okay this doesn't work too. Since there is no possibility to get interrupted by a class method that sets m_bForceDisconnect. Perhaps it's a conceptional design weakness in CAsyncSocket?

There are about 10 socket derived classes in gnucleus for a variety of specific purposes. I try to keep the Close() method accross them the same.

You're referencing some old code there though, I'm pretty active with updates usually so I suggest going to gnucleus.net, reading the instructions for getting the latest source and checking it out.

The current code first locks the thread the socket is being closed in and once it is locked does this:

AsyncSelect(0);
ShutDown(1);

I took the clean receive buffer stuff out of there because it was pointless.

There is a huge bug with misdirectedn messages in CAsyncSocket derived classes, but it is fixed by putting AsyncSelect(0); in the deconstructor. It took me sooo long to find that simple fix.

I used guntelladev.com for browsing various Gnutella source code. About your current source, it's on CVS, well perhaps not the best way to attract new coders... but maybe you have enough.

You can browse the very latest source with your web browser at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/v...us/GnucleusR2/

or at gnucleus.net there are detailed instructions for users with no experience with cvs, to get up and running with wincvs and how to get the latest gnucleus source anonymously.

We always need more developers.

Wow, you did a lot since I looked into your code last time!

Now I wonder that so "less" ppl use your client since the functionality and the source looks nice. Honestly I have to say, I bumped into Gnucleus by accident. I personaly like/use Mutella and so found a way to Gnucleus. Will run/compile Gnucleus when I find more time... haven't done yet. :-)

Just some suggestions: Perhaps you should add this link for browsing code to your home page and a tgz for download too. I know IT IS a minor solution compared to checking out the source, but guess how many coders use CVS today... and will be held back? Speaking about me, I will have a look on the code, when I find more time... at the moment I'm busy with some own stuff and PEERanha. The first step into Mutella/Gnucleus was hard, -on gnutelladev.com- I found no concept design or class descriptions and the code had (like Mutella) very few comments to get a overview. Not ment bad in any way, just thinking loud.

Hope you get more coders, Moak

And that is why C++ sucks so bad, you guys won't take the time to document your classes, so how the hell do you expect anyone else but you to use them? Or is that the point? Job security?

Progremmers will never document properly, it's just part of the nature of this type of nural network, so C++ will always suck.

How silly is it to write a commercial app depending on other "classes" that may or may not crash / cause problems beacause you didn't write the code yourself and learn how it works, or the documentation sucks so you call it wrong?

Then the language, what a joke. Some guy decided he wanted his own little language when he came up with this C++ stuff, so he re-wrote the way you speak C. "classes" "destructors" what a joke.

And the :: and string += stuff is way too stupid, now you have these want-to-be Jr. programmers who don't understand how to handle a real string in memory, and how it is all really memory mapped and when you add more like strcat(str1,str2) it takes processor time.

go program basic and leave the real programming to professionals.

Gnucleus is pretty decently commented, anywhere things get complicated there are definently comments to help people out. When ever I write code I think to myself, 'if someone reads this, will they understand it?' If you do have trouble with the source email me, I'll explain it all to you, whatever it is.

Go to http://www.gnucleus.net , on the left hand side there are a set of links to the developer section. I suggest you (Moak) first take a look at the 'Structure' link, this will help you or anyone else understand the basic class structure of gnuclues.

If you open the workspace in MS dev, you will be able to use some of visual studio's advanced source browsing features to get a better feal of the code and how classes are organized.

Hmm.... do you believe from looking on the "structure" picture a new developer will understand what's goin on? For example will he/she understand that CGnuControl is the listening server socket, CnuSock.cpp an accepted client socket which will be turned into CGnuNode or into some other CAsyncSocket derived class after evaluating initiating protocol handshake? Everything without one single line of comment describing what the purpose of each class is, how they work together or what important methods and data structures are supposed to do? Without an overall design guide describing underlying concepts, class purpose, class usage... I feel there might be a lack of documentation. Perhaps ppl need to write a own Gnutella client to understand what's going on. Just thinking loud, perhaps I'm a bad coder...

> If you do have trouble with the source email me, I'll explain it all to you, whatever it is.

thx a lot

Default Gnucleus Structure

Your structure picture is not correct IMHO:

- There is no class CGnuDocument, I think you mean CGnucleusDoc.

- The links between 'Doc' and 'View' are wrong. CFrameMain is in the root node, CGnucleusDoc must be linked to CFrameMain not CGnucleus. Also CGnuControl must be linked to CFrameMain not CGnucleusDoc/CGnuDocument.

Hope it helps, Moak

PS: You should rename CGnuControl::CleanDeadSocks to CleanDirtySocks(), kidding, couldn't resist.
