ANET_AddrToString gives garbage?

[Lucifer]

I snagged ANET_AddrToString from nSocket.cpp (I think) for my robot, and noticed the first time I use it I get garbage. This is a basic setup, using recvfrom() to read from the socket. Did I not do something right setting up the socket, or did I uncover an odd bug in this function?

Code: Select all

Received login from 232.202.229.183:52151
Received login from 127.0.0.1:10000

The second line is correct, I only get garbage on the first line.

Wow, it literally is only the first datagram sent after the robot is started. The second one sent from the client, in the same process with no additional socket stuff gives the correct address string.

I've seen an error like this somewhere else, it was caused by an uninitialized variable, specifically the fromlen parameter of the recvfrom function, the int it points to needs to be set to the size of your sockaddr type.

Haha, that worked. Thanks.

I guess this is in the wrong place now, heh.
