From: Kursat on 27 Dec 2009 12:40 Hi, I am working on a project which includes writing a low level communication software which interfaces with both TCP/IP sockets and serial ports. I used to write a socket server before by using IO Completion Ports and will do so for the TCP/IP socket interface. I also want to use IO Completion Ports for the serial communication. My questions are: - It seems it is possible to use IOCP for serial communication at least in theory. Is there any practical difficulty or oddness using IOCP for serial communication? - Is there any obvious difference between handling serial and socket communications other than using ReadFile instead of Receive and WriteFile instead of Send? - Is it possible to mix sockets and serial port handles on the same IO Completion Port? - Do you have any link to an article or sample source code which explains serial communication with IO Completion Port? Thanks in advance |
