digitalmars.D.learn - wrapSocket for socket_t? As wrapFile for FILE*

reply Beginner-8 <qwe asd.com> writes:
Hi!

Anyone seen Socket constructor which uses already available 
socket of socket_t type?

I am need to use already connected socket imported from C library 
without closing them after using.

See the list on my unofficial docs here: http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.socket.Socket.html This one does it: http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.socket.Socket.this.5.html or the official docs here: But basically you can just do: auto socket = new Socket(your_socket_t, AddressFamily.INET); // or whatever it is AddressFamilies are: http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.socket.AddressFamily.html

One of the constructors of class Socket is as follows: pure nothrow nogc safe this(socket_t sock, AddressFamily af); socket_t is basically a file descriptor which is the type "int". Your C library provides you "socket_t" value already as far as I understand. So, you can pass it to constructor. Unless you explicitly call "close" method of Socket object, its descriptor will stay allocated for your process/program.

Hmm, I am seen what Socket dtor contains close() too: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/socket.d#L2659

I would say that the socket should not be closed by my code. For files this way is wrapFile: "The resulting File never takes the initiative in closing the file." http://dlang.org/library/std/stdio/file.wrap_file.html It seems that something like this is necessary also for Socket.

Maybe another option is to duplicate the socket handle before giving it to Socket but I am failing to find a definitive answer or an example. Ali

Sure! Nevertheless, it is need method for socket_t duplication. Something like: class Socket { ... static Socket dup(socket_t) ... }
 before giving it to Socket but I am failing to find a 
 definitive answer or an example.

Uh, wait! Forgot about that Socket calls .close() in its dtor

Try duplicating the socket handle before handing it over to Socket (not compiled nor tested): import core.sys.posix.unistd; Socket(dup(myHandle)) I think socket handles are duplicatable :p things. Only the last close() would actually close the socket. Ali

This recipe works for me! Thanks!
