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).
These are options needed for real-world multicasting.
Implementation notes:
- POSIX only.
- IPv4 only (IPv6 multicast is a tricky beast).
- Didn't update tests, because it can't effectively be demonstrated on
localhost only.
- [lib/dns.js] dns.lookup takes a new optional argument "family" which
should be the integer 4, 6, dns.AF_INET or dns.AF_INET6. Passing a
non-false "family" argument makes c-ares explicitly look up addresses for
the specified family.
- [test/simple/test-c-ares.js] test explicit address family lookups
- Adds new dgram module, for all data-gram type transports
- Supports both UDP client and servers
- Supports Unix Daemon sockets in DGRAM mode too (think syslog)
- Uses a shared Buffer and slices that as needed to be reasonably
performant.
- One supplied test program so far, test-dgram-pingpong
- Passes test cases on osx 10.6 and ubuntu 9.10u
