Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Server()

GNet::Server::Server ( ExceptionSink  es,
const Address listening_address,
ServerPeerConfig  server_peer_config,
ServerConfig  server_config 
)

Constructor.

The server listens on the given address, which can be the 'any' address. The ExceptionSink is used for exceptions relating to the listening socket, not the server peers.

Definition at line 34 of file gserver.cpp.

◆ ~Server()

GNet::Server::~Server ( )
override

Destructor.

Definition at line 72 of file gserver.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ address()

GNet::Address GNet::Server::address ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the listening address.

Override from GNet::Listener.

Implements GNet::Listener.

Definition at line 89 of file gserver.cpp.

◆ canBind()

bool GNet::Server::canBind ( const Address listening_address,
bool  do_throw 
)
static

Checks that the specified address can be bound.

Throws CannotBind if the address cannot be bound and 'do_throw' is true.

Definition at line 77 of file gserver.cpp.

◆ hasPeers()

bool GNet::Server::hasPeers ( ) const

Returns true if peers() is not empty.

Definition at line 179 of file gserver.cpp.

◆ newPeer()

virtual std::unique_ptr< ServerPeer > GNet::Server::newPeer ( ExceptionSinkUnbound  ,
ServerPeerInfo   
)
protectedpure virtual

A factory method which new()s a ServerPeer-derived object.

This method is called when a new connection comes in to this server. The new ServerPeer object is used to represent the state of the client/server connection.

The implementation should pass the 'ServerPeerInfo' parameter through to the ServerPeer base-class constructor.

The implementation should return nullptr for non-fatal errors. It is expected that a typical server process will terminate if newPeer() throws, so most implementations will catch any exceptions and return nullptr.

Implemented in GNet::MultiServerImp.

◆ peers()

std::vector< std::weak_ptr< GNet::ServerPeer > > GNet::Server::peers ( )

Returns the list of ServerPeer objects.

Definition at line 184 of file gserver.cpp.

◆ serverCleanup()

void GNet::Server::serverCleanup ( )
protected

Should be called by the most-derived class's destructor in order to trigger early deletion of peer objects before the derived part of the server disappears.

This prevents slicing if the destructor of the most-derived ServerPeer makes use of the most-derived Server.
