[Cute_Net.h] Knowing if a packet has been sent. about cute_headers HOT 3 OPEN

Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion. To clarify, you're mainly asking for a way to see if the "send queue" for your client is actually empty or not? This would be a very easy thing to add.

Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion. To clarify, you're mainly asking for a way to see if the "send queue" for your client is actually empty or not? This would be a very easy thing to add.

Oh yeah, exactly what i had in mind, i remember seeing the packet_queue member on the client struct.

But i didn't know if what i have in mind is going to work:

//Returns true if there's anything pending, false when there's nothing yet to be sent
bool cn_client_packet_pending(client)
{
   cn_client_t c = client;
   return ((c.p_client.packet_queue.size_left == c.p_client.packet_queue.capacity-1) ? true : false)
}

In fact imma give it a try once i get home.

Also: my deepest apologies for the bothering and the delayed response (went to sleep after creating the issue)

Update: went to check the buffer size with Capacity and Size_Left members of the circular_buffer they don't change (this also goes for sizeof(), which was my first idea)

Output:

//First call
Buffer Size - 1048576, Size Left - 1048576, Sizeof - 32

Client sends message (c.Send())

//Second call
Buffer Size - 1048576, Size Left - 1048576, Sizeof - 32

Disconnect (c.Shutdown())
Application Close(done = true)

Not exactly what i had in mind but it does the job:

if (c.IsConnected)
{
     std::string dt = "Hello There";
     static float i = 0;
     
      i += ElapsedTime(); //Directly calls ct_time()
      if(i > 0.5) //Default : 2
      {
            printf("Sending");
            c.send(dt);
         
             i = 0;
             done = true; // Closes the application.
      }
}

This code works but with certain delay between sends, so i need to adjust this for this to perform better.

Note: it's worth to mention that i took this snippet from the example, just out of nowhere haha.
