[Winpcap-users] select()

[Jonathan Hunt]

Hi again. I've been trying to get pcap_getevent() to work with
WaitForSingleObject(), but without success. Here's a code fragment which
will hopefully illustrate my problem:

    while(TRUE) {
        while(clientstate < STREAMING) {
            if(WaitForSingleObject(pcap_getevent(skinny),0)==WAIT_OBJECT_0)
{
                if(skinny_received = pcap_next_ex(skinny, &skinny_header,
&skinny_data) > 0) {

(pcap_t *skinny has been initialised with pcap_open() and then had a filter
applied to it...the code worked before I added the above pcap_getevent()
section.)

For some reason WaitForSingleObject never returns WAIT_OBJECT_0 (it always
returns 0x102). I'm developing with Winpcap4.0 and XP Pro SP2, Visual Studio
2005 SP1...the compiler's set to compile it as C code, not C++.

Any advice would be much appreciated - hopefully it's just a stupid
oversight on my part.

Thanks

Jonathan
