/*============================================================================ packetsocket ============================================================================== This is a facility for communicating socket-style, with defined packets like a datagram socket but with reliable delivery like a stream socket. It's like a POSIX "sequential packet" socket, except it is built on top of a stream socket, so it is usable on the many systems that have stream sockets but not sequential packet sockets. By Bryan Henderson 2007.05.12 Contributed to the public domain by its author. ============================================================================*/ /*============================================================================ The protocol for carrying packets on a character stream: The protocol consists of the actual bytes to be transported with a bare minimum of framing information added: An ASCII Escape ( == 0x1B) character marks the start of a 4-ASCII-character control word. These are defined: PKT : marks the beginning of a packet. END : marks the end of a packet. ESC : represents an character in the packet NOP : no meaning Any other bytes after is a protocol error. A stream is all the data transmitted during a single socket connection. End of stream in the middle of a packet is a protocol error. All bytes not part of a control word are literal bytes of a packet. You can create a packet socket from any file descriptor from which you can read and write a bidirectional character stream. Typically, it's a TCP socket. One use of the NOP control word is to validate that the connection is still working. You might send one periodically to detect, for example, an unplugged TCP/IP network cable. It's probably better to use the TCP keepalive facility for that. ============================================================================*/ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "c_util.h" #include "xmlrpc-c/string_int.h" #include "xmlrpc-c/girerr.hpp" using girerr::throwf; #include "xmlrpc-c/packetsocket.hpp" #define ESC 0x1B // ASCII Escape character #define ESC_STR "\x1B" namespace xmlrpc_c { packet::packet() : bytes(NULL), length(0), allocSize(0) {} void packet::initialize(const unsigned char * const data, size_t const dataLength) { this->bytes = reinterpret_cast(malloc(dataLength)); if (this->bytes == NULL) throwf("Can't get storage for a %u-byte packet.", dataLength); this->allocSize = dataLength; memcpy(this->bytes, data, dataLength); this->length = dataLength; } packet::packet(const unsigned char * const data, size_t const dataLength) { this->initialize(data, dataLength); } packet::packet(const char * const data, size_t const dataLength) { this->initialize(reinterpret_cast(data), dataLength); } packet::~packet() { if (this->bytes) free(bytes); } void packet::addData(const unsigned char * const data, size_t const dataLength) { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Add the 'length' bytes at 'data' to the packet.

That means a no-wait write method and the ability to interrupt with a signal without corrupting the write stream. We're a little to lazy to do that now, since we don't need it yet, but here's a design for that: The packetSocket has a send queue of packets called the write buffer. It stores packetPtr pointers to packets created by the user. packetSocket::write() adds a packet to the write buffer, then calls packetSocket::writeToFile(). If you give it a null packetPtr, it just calls writeToFile(). packetSocket::writeToFile() writes from the write buffer to the socket whatever the socket will take immediately. It writes the start sequence, writes the packet data, then writes the end sequence. The packetSocket keeps track of where it is in the process of writing the current send packet (including start end end sequences) it is. packetSocket::write() returns a "flushed" flag indicating that there is nothing left in the write buffer. packetSocket::writeWait() just calls packetSocket::write(), then packetSocket::flush() in a poll() loop. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ static void writeFd(int const fd, const unsigned char * const data, size_t const size, size_t * const bytesWrittenP) { size_t totalBytesWritten; bool full; // File image is "full" for now - won't take any more data full = false; totalBytesWritten = 0; while (totalBytesWritten < size && !full) { ssize_t rc; rc = write(fd, &data[totalBytesWritten], size - totalBytesWritten); if (rc < 0) { if (errno == EAGAIN) full = true; else throwf("write() of socket failed with errno %d (%s)", errno, strerror(errno)); } else if (rc == 0) throwf("Zero byte short write."); else { size_t const bytesWritten(rc); totalBytesWritten += bytesWritten; } } *bytesWrittenP = totalBytesWritten; } static void writeFdWait(int const fd, const unsigned char * const data, size_t const size) { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Write the 'size' bytes at 'data' to the file image 'fd'.
