| Description: |
Hi, I am trying to create a comm channel on a specific port so that client knows which port to connect to. However, when the server port is already in use, the comm package doesn't throw an appropriate error message, see below: # First, start a server on port 5050 and then run # the following: mavis:49> tclsh % socket -server _acceptConnection 5050 couldn't open socket: address already in use % package require comm 4.5.6 % comm::comm new xxx -port 5050 -local 0 -listen 1 can't delete "::xxx": command doesn't exist % comm::comm new xxx -port 5051 -local 0 -listen 1 ::xxx % exit mavis:50> As you can see, tcl's socket command clearly indicates where the problem is whereas the error message from comm pkg is misleading.
