The new test covers the baseline behavior that ListenConnections() accepts an incoming connection and serves requests over it. Keeping this coverage separate from the existing general proxy tests makes the socket listener setup easier to review and provides a clearer place to extend listener-specific behavior in follow-up commits. --- include/mp/proxy-io.h | 4 + test/CMakeLists.txt | 1 + test/mp/test/listen_tests.cpp | 179 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 184 insertions(+) create mode 100644 test/mp/test/listen_tests.cpp diff --git a/include/mp/proxy-io.h b/include/mp/proxy-io.h index 092ea42e..e8cd3e7a 100644 --- a/include/mp/proxy-io.h +++ b/include/mp/proxy-io.h @@ -356,6 +356,9 @@ class EventLoop //!

Implement the limit with listener-local state tracking the listening socket, maximum number of active connections, and whether an async accept() has already been posted. This keeps the limit scoped to the individual listener instead of introducing global EventLoop state. Extend the dedicated listener test coverage to verify that with max_connections=1 the first client is accepted normally, a second client is not accepted while the first remains connected, and the second client is accepted after the first disconnects. --- doc/usage.md | 2 +- doc/versions.md | 3 + include/mp/proxy-io.h | 65 +++++++++++++++------ test/mp/test/listen_tests.cpp | 105 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 154 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/usage.md b/doc/usage.md index f387db4d..df103e9f 100644 --- a/doc/usage.md +++ b/doc/usage.md @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ _libmultiprocess_ is a library and code generator that allows calling C++ class The `*.capnp` data definition files are consumed by the _libmultiprocess_ code generator and each `X.capnp` file generates `X.capnp.c++`, `X.capnp.h`, `X.capnp.proxy-client.c++`, `X.capnp.proxy-server.c++`, `X.capnp.proxy-types.c++`, `X.capnp.proxy-types.h`, and `X.capnp.proxy.h` output files.
