[ANet] Restarting server - 10/24/10 12:13

Hi,
currently, I'm working on the server restart function. For that, I deinitialize the compltete server and all clients to reconnect.
But why it isn't possible to recreate a server on the same port:

Code:

#include <acknex.h>
#include "anet.h"


int main()
{
	wait(1);
	
	if(enet_init() == ANET_ERROR)
	{
		error("Couldn't init ANet.");
	}
	
	if(enet_init_server(2700, 10, "") == ANET_ERROR)
	{
		error("Couldn't init first server.");
	}
	
	while(MY_CONNECTION != SERVER_MODE)
	{
		wait(1);
	}
	
	if(enet_init_client("localhost", 2700, "") == ANET_ERROR)
	{
		error("Couldn't init client.");
	}
	
	while(MY_CONNECTION != CLIENT_SERVER_MODE)
	{
		wait(1);
	}
	
	error("All hosts created. Destroying now...");
	
	enet_destroy_host();
	
	while(MY_CONNECTION != NO_CONNECTION)
	{
		wait(1);
	}
	
	if(enet_init_server(2700, 10, "") == ANET_ERROR)
	{
		error("Couldn't init second server.");
	}
}

I can't create the second server, but all hosts are destroyed.
Tell me why

Hi Razoron,

I think I accidently deleted two lines of code when I maintained some stuff in one of the last versions. So the problem is in the ANet source. I've sent you a beta version. Please try it out and tell me if it works now

Thanks for the report!

Ah, now that explains why my Bomberman has issues with closing and reconnecting the server, just by updating Anet^^".

Good to read it can be fixed soon.
