Re: proper way to close a socket?

Geoff,

The code I showed was from MFC, not from me. So I'm not doing any polling. I
pasted that in to show where the ASSERT is coming from.

My code is deleting the socket object, which according to my comment will
also close the connection.

    delete m_pClientSocket; // this will also close the connection
    m_pClientSocket = NULL;

The help says "The socket object's destructor calls Close for you." so I
guess that's why I think I only need to delete the object.

I do respond to OnClose().

I just put some breakpoints at OnClose(), OnConnect() and OnAccept().
Neither is being hit when I try to connect to a non-existent IP and port,
whether the ASSERT happens or not. The call stack looks like below, which
only tells me it's not coming directly from a call in my code. It looks like
the systems was preparing to do a callback.

Oh, I see if I am patient, I will get a call to OnConnect() with an 10060
(WSAETIMEDOUT) error about 20 seconds after initiating the conenct. I do
have to handle that differently.

I was thinking that maybe the timeout callback was coming in just as I was
deleting the socket object. But it doesn't seem likely as I can get the
ASSERT long before the 20 second timeout occurs. Any way I can determine
what the callback would have been had it not crashed? wParam = 1764 and
lParam = 657850384 or hex 27360010.
