Charles TCP Pool

Welcome to Charles TCP Pool, it is a simple self-repair tcp connection pool. And it would be very nice to extend it. I will be grateful.

Usage

• git clone https://github.com/linghuazaii/Charles-TcpPool.git
• make
• the shared library will be generated. and also the pool test and the simple test server

Note

• for CharlesTcpPool::getConnection(timeout), this timeout is the timeout you wait for a valid connection and you can't ignore it, or you can just modify the code. this function will return NULL if it can't give you a valid connection. in this situation, you shouldn't use putConnection() to put this connection back since NULL is not a connection. and even though you get a connection not NULL, when you do write or read you may find that this connection is bad,but don't worry, just putConnection() to return to the pool and wait for some time or continue to try to getConnection() until your job is done. you better wait for some time, since my baby thread will repair the bad connection which might be caused by crashed server or server closes the connection.
• for TCP_KEEPALIVE, this part is not integrated, you can extend it. some server may close connection if connection is not active for some time. but that's ok, if it is closed then it is repaired. if you use TCP_KEEPALIVE, this version will use system config, you can extend it to use your own KEEPALIVE config in progress scope.
• there is possibility that if you use blocking io, think about it, client do write then read and some bad server do read, write and then close. if this close packet isn't received by client after client do getConnection write read getConnection(get the same fd, but it is closed) write read, the last read will return 0. and it is your responsibility to handle client/server logic, I ensure you this pool works fine.
