exception thrown on one machine, but not another

[Adam]

Hello,

I'm using the GNU Common C++ socket library to write a simple
client/server application. When I run my application on one machine and
get a socket error (say a timeout), an exception is thrown by the
library. When I run my application on a different machine and get a
socket error, no exception is thrown. What would cause the difference
in behavoir?

Thanks for any help,

Adam

Different implementation of communication layer in the OS. Different
implementation of the library on different platforms. Who can know?
Have you tried contacting the suppliers of that library?

That doesn't change what Victor told you. Here we
discuss the standard C++ language, which does not
address networking issues, the workings of nonstandard
libraries, or operating systems.
