TWSocketServer, TWSocketClient.OnDataAvailable tiggers without any data

[ertank 28]

Hello,

 

I am using v8.71 of ICS. There is a device connecting to my application and sending some data. So, I basically wait for a connection and communicate with that device both ways.

Occationally, TWSocketClient.OnDataAvailable event triggers even if there is no data ( aka GetRcvdCount = -1)

 

I just wonder if this is normal and what might be possible reasons?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ertan

Yes, this is normal behaviour, better to have DataAvailable trigger too often than miss potential data.  Sorry, can not tell you why it was designed that way 25 years ago...

AFAIR GetRcvdCount was marked as not 100% proof somewhere in the code and it was always recommended to try Recv in trigger.
