3006 :: Raw Socket (nativesockets)

• candles (orginal) [2017-06-18T20:04:10+02:00] view original

  I'm usually programming in C but now I've discovered NIM. I'm working on Socket programming. In C I think it's quite simple, but in NIM:

  It seems like it's not working although I'm doing it like it's written in the libs. There's always a nil output. Even though I'm executing it as root. Is it possible that the nativesocket lib isn't that stable?

  Or am I to dumb? ;) Can somebody help me?

  In C too you need to allocate memory. Try something like var data = newStringOfCap(80) and read more about Nim and also perhaps about basic typography rules.

  In case you're not aware, nativesocket is the low-level module. Use the net module for the more high level interface, it's easier to use too.

  @candles, you supplied the timeout argument parameter which init ed to 0.

  Also, as @dom96 stated, better to use net module. You already used recv from net .
