1 TODO:
2
3 - consider adding the local endpoint name to PacketListener::PacketReceived() params
4
5 - consider adding ListenerThread class to support old seperate thread listener functionality, something like:
6
7 class UdpSocketListenerThread{
8 public:
9 UdpSocketListenerThread( UdpSocket& socket, Listener *listener );
10 UdpSocketListenerThread( UdpSocketReceiveMultiplexer *mux );
11 ~UdpSocketListenerThread();
12
13 void Run();
14 void Stop();
15 };
16
17 - provide some kind of automatic endianness configuration (hopefully there
18 are gcc symbols for this)
19
20 - work out a way to make the parsing classes totally safe. at a minimum this
21 means adding functions to test for invalid float/doublevalues,
22 making sure the iterators never pass the end of the message, ...
23 (passing end of message can happen if:
24 - too many args in type tags
25 a. typetags overflow message size
26 b. args fulfilling typetags overflow message size
27 - strings too long or not terminated correctly
28 - blobs too long or not terminated correctly
29
30 if the message was fully checked during construction, the end() iterator
31 could be moved back until only arguments which fit withing size() may
32 be interated (this could be none). A flag could be set to indicate that
33 something was wrong.
34
35 - other packet badness could include:
36 - time tags too far into the future (the scheduler should deal with
37 that i guess).
38 - message address patterns which aren't correctly terminated
39
40 - improve the ability to parse messages without tags (SC uses methods which
41 get the data and advance the iterator in one step.)
42 - Check* could be modified to do this - ie if typetags are not present
43 it could check that reading the field won't escape the message size
44 and return the data, or return false if some consistency
45 constraint is violated.
46 (or alternately drop support for messages without type tags)
47
48
49 - add a method to discard an inprogress message if it gets half
50 constructed and the buffer is full in OutboundPacket
51
52 - write a stress testing app which can send garbage packets to try to flush out other bugs in the parsing code.
