[PD-dev] Requesting SVN commit access

[Dennis Engdahl]

Martin:

I hope you received my previous e-mail with the attachment.  If not, 
please let me know.

The X32 responds to commands by sending the response to the IP and port 
from which it received the command.  These are the problems with the 
present approach which my routine solves:

1.  The "from" port used while sending a command is assigned by the 
system, and is not reported to the user.  Therefore, the user has no way 
to set up a listener on that port to receive the X32's response.

2.  Even if we modify the existing routines to allow the user to specify 
the "from" port, after doing so, the same port cannot be used again to set 
up udpreceive.  The system returns an "in use" error when trying to do so. 
In Winsock, the "from IP", "from port", "to IP", and "to port" must be 
unique for a connection to be set up.  Since the user is specifying the 
"from port", "to IP", and "to port", and since the "from IP" is static, 
only one connection can be set up at a time.  Both udpsend and udpreceive 
try to set up a connection.  If the "from port" is static, the second 
connection fails.

My routine allows the setting of the "from port".  Then, my routine only 
sets up one connection, and sends and receives on that one connection. 
Since the user is specifying the "from port", more than one connection can 
be established (by more than one patch) by specifying different (known) 
ports (see the help page for my routine.)

Thank you for your response, Martin.  I am more than willing for you to 
take over the routine if you wish, or to solve this another way if you 
wish.  I just wish to communicate with the X32.

Sincerely,

Dennis Engdahl
