AAbstractSocket

Base class for all sockets.

Header:	#include <AUI/Network/AAbstractSocket.h>
CMake:	aui_link(my_target PUBLIC aui::network)

Detailed Description

Holds the native socket handle and the local address. The handle is released when the socket is destroyed, or earlier with close(). Sockets are not copyable.

Failures are reported with exceptions derived from AIOException. A blocked thread that is interrupted (see AThread::interrupt) while waiting in a socket call gets AThread::Interrupted, which is the way to stop a thread blocked in ATcpSocket or AUdpSocket reads.

Concrete sockets: ATcpSocket, ATcpServerSocket, AUdpSocket.

Public Methods

bind

---

void AAbstractSocket::bind(uint16_t bindingPort)

Binds socket for port. Used for ATcpServerSocket and AUdpSocket

Arguments

bindingPort

port

Examples:

examples/app/fractal/src/FractalView.cpp

Fractal Example — Fractal viewer application demonstrating usage of custom shaders.

void FractalView::render(ARenderContext context) {
    AView::render(context);

    mShader.use();
    mTexture->bind();
    context.render.rectangle(ACustomShaderBrush {}, { 0, 0 }, getSize());
}

void FractalView::onLayout(glm::ivec2 size) {
    AView::onLayout(size);

createSocket

---

virtual int AAbstractSocket::createSocket()

Creates socket handle.

init

---

void AAbstractSocket::init()

Initialise socket

Examples:

examples/ui/embedded_sdl/src/main.cpp

SDL3 — This code demonstrates how to integrate the AUI Framework with SDL3 to create a window with OpenGL rendering.

        SDL_GL_DestroyContext(gl_context);
        SDL_DestroyWindow(sdl_window);
    }

    void init(std::unique_ptr<EmbedRenderingContext>&& context) {
        windowInit(std::move(context));

        int width = 0;
        int height = 0;
        SDL_GetWindowSizeInPixels(sdl_window, &width, &height);

setTimeout

---

void AAbstractSocket::setTimeout(std::chrono::milliseconds timeout)

Sets the receive timeout.

A blocked read that waits longer than timeout fails. Zero disables the timeout.
