Subject: libsdl-net1.2: SDLNet_UDP_Bind does not behave as described

Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 18:54:09 +0100 (BST)

Package: libsdl-net1.2
Version: 1.2.2-1.1
Severity: normal

From SDLnetUDP.c:SDLNet_UDP_Bind:
/* Bind the address 'address' to the requested channel on the UDP socket.
   If the channel is -1, then the first unbound channel will be bound with
   the given address as it's primary address.
...
	if ( channel == -1 ) {
		for ( channel=0; channel < SDLNET_MAX_UDPCHANNELS; ++channel ) {
			binding = &sock->binding[channel];
			if ( binding->numbound < SDLNET_MAX_UDPADDRESSES ) {
				break;
			}
		}

The comment, which is the same as in the header file, describes one behaviour.
The code implements another: if channel is -1, it binds to the first channel
that has not yet been bound to the maximum number of addresses. The if
(binding->numbound... line should be just if ( binding->numbound) {
(i.e. choose an unused channel). (Although this may break any apps using the
incorrect behaviour.)

This bug appears to be present in the version in unstable, which is the latest
upstream release of SDL_net.

Architecture: source i386
Version: 1.2.5-4
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Mike Furr <mfurr@debian.org>
Changed-By: Mike Furr <mfurr@debian.org>
Description: 
 libsdl-net1.2 - network library for Simple DirectMedia Layer
 libsdl-net1.2-dev - Development files for SDL network library
Closes: 211570 278595 290202
Changes: 
 sdl-net1.2 (1.2.5-4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * dpatch-ification
   * Added patch from Sam Hocevar which doesn't byteswap on big endian
     arches when SDL_DATA_ALIGNED is true
   * Changed comment for SDLNet_UDP_Bind to reflect implementation
     - Since upstream has not responded to this (and seems dead), and a fair
       number of packages use sdl-net, I don't want to change the behavior
       just for debian, only properly document the actual behavior.
     - (Closes: 211570)
   * Updated libtool for kfreebsd-gnu support (Closes: 278595)
   * Updated debian/copyright to say GPL is the license instead of copyright
     (Closes: 290202)
