[c++winsock2.0]How to abort winsock blocking call?

Question

I use Winsock 2 in C++, and wonder how to make my server stop reading from the client connection. The reading thread gets blocked in recv() and I have no idea h

Answer 1

After I read your response, I got an idea. It end up with setsockopt(). I use it to set time out for recv(), If it's timeout, I just check if system still wanna read from this socket or not.

This way make reading thread spend most of the time waiting for incoming packet in recv().
