Storing SOCKET in a vector

Question

I am working on a project developed in c/c++ where a server handles several connections, I do not have much experience in this language, I would like to know how I should proceed to add a SOCKET in a vector, to be able to access it then.

Answer 1

You may be creating a data structure

/* Struct Client */  
struct HYPNOS_STRUCT
{
    SOCKET socket;
};

Then define a vector of structures with the structure created above.

const int MAX_CLIENTS = 50;
std::vector<HYPNOS_STRUCT> hypnos_client(MAX_CLIENTS);

So once you accept a new socket you may be accessing a position of your vector to add it!

SOCKET incoming = INVALID_SOCKET;
incoming = accept(server_socket, (struct sockaddr *)&client_info, &addrsize);

hypnos_client[i].socket = incoming;
