Hello all,
This code fails on WindowsInstallerRuby
ruby 1.7.2 (2002-07-02) [i386-mswin32]
with
[BUG] rb_sys_fail() - errno == 0
but runs on
ruby 1.6.6 (2001-12-26) [i486-linux]
without a problem.
Bug? Well, it says so 
Danny
require 'socket’
ah ha! that’s may be the root of tcp’s and http’s bugs as well!
i had to switch back to 1.6.7 becasue of them. (linux though)

Hmm, I wonder if Winsock isn’t setting errno properly. If that’s the
case, then rb_sys_fail() won’t be sufficient for socket.c.

Here’s another one:
works:
fails:

According to http://www.sockets.com/a_c2.htm (and a few other sources),
meaningful winsock error information cannot be obtained from errno;
WSAGetLastError() should be used instead. In this situation,
rb_sys_fail won’t work.
If I actually had a compiler installed on Windows, I’d write a patch,
but this should be an easy fix anyway.
This explains why the code was failing with such a strange error
message; I wonder why it was failing in the first place, though.

The other message I sent had a reasonable winsock error for some
reason: 10040.
winsock2.h tells me
#define WSABASEERR 10000
#define WSAEMSGSIZE (WSABASEERR+40)
then we get
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2001-February/004072.html
which states that I did a recv but the datagram was too big for my
buffer. That’s right. Linux didn’t feel that was an error though. And,
something has changed between Ruby 1.6.6 and 1.7.2 that shouldn’t have
been changed…
- Behaviour of Linux and Windows has been different in all version I have
- 1.7 looks at the wrong errorcode.
There must be someone with a compiler and sourcetree set up for fixing

errno should be set in win32/win32.c:rb_w32_recvfrom().

If it should be set, then why was an “errno == 0” error generated?

It’s the question.
I found myself misread a little, error in [ruby-talk:49898]
apparently differs from one in first article. If so, in which
line it occurred?

Both the error in [ruby-talk:49768] and the error in [ruby-talk:49898]
mentioned “recvfrom(2).” There is only one line in socket.c which calls
rb_sys_fail with a parameter of “recvfrom(2)”.
Or do you mean which line in the Ruby code? The first article didn’t
mention a line number, but the latter one did. I suspect they both
occurred on line 11, though.
