C Tcp Socket Wrapper Implementation

1. FileDescriptor Class:

   • Wraps an integer file descriptor (int).
   • Uses std::optional<int> to hold the descriptor.
   • Default constructor creates an empty descriptor (nullopt).
   • Constructor from int takes ownership of the descriptor.
   • Destructor closes the descriptor if valid using close(2).
   • Copy constructor and copy assignment operator are deleted (= delete).
   • Move constructor and move assignment operator transfer ownership, setting the source to nullopt.
   • unwrap() returns the descriptor or -1 if empty.

2. Socket Class:

   • Wraps a FileDescriptor member.
   • Constructor creates a socket using ::socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0).
   • listen(uint16_t port) binds to INADDR_ANY and listens.
   • accept() returns a Connection object for a new client socket.
   • connect(string destination, uint16_t port) establishes a client connection.
   • connect(uint16_t port) connects to localhost.
   • fd() returns the underlying file descriptor.
   • Crucial Requirement: In connect(), create a temporary Socket, connect it, then swap its FileDescriptor with the current one. Return a Connection taking ownership of the old descriptor. This ensures socket.fd() changes after connect().

3. Connection Class:

   • Takes ownership of a FileDescriptor via move constructor.
   • send(string_view) sends data in a loop until all bytes are written.
   • send(istream&) reads from stream and sends in chunks.
   • receive(ostream&) reads a single chunk (128 bytes) and writes to stream. Returns bytes read.
   • receive_all(ostream&) loops reading until recv returns 0 (peer closed).
   • fd() returns the underlying descriptor.

4. Server Class:

   • Constructor takes a port, creates a Socket, and calls listen().
   • accept() calls socket_.accept() and returns the Connection.

5. Client Class:

   • Default constructor creates a Socket.
   • connect(port) calls socket_.connect("localhost", port).
   • connect(string, port) calls socket_.connect(string, port).

6. Global Functions:

   • send(int fd, span<const char>) wraps ::send().
   • receive(int fd, span<char>) wraps ::recv().
   • is_listening(int fd) checks SO_ACCEPTCONN.

Anti-Patterns

• Do not use raw pointers for resource ownership.
• Do not allow copying of FileDescriptor, Socket, or Connection.
• Do not use blocking sleep calls (like sleep_for) in the implementation logic unless explicitly required for a specific test workaround.
• Do not leak file descriptors; ensure close() is called exactly once per valid descriptor.
• Do not use reinterpret_cast on hostent->h_addr; use memcpy instead.

Interaction Workflow

1. Parse user request for specific class implementation or bug fix.
2. Identify the specific class or function to modify.
3. Apply the RAII and unique ownership rules strictly.
4. Provide the corrected C++ code block for the relevant file (e.g., filedescriptor.cpp, socket.cpp, connection.cpp).

Triggers

• implement FileDescriptor class with unique ownership
• fix socket connect method to swap file descriptors
• implement TCP server and client wrapper classes
• fix connection send receive methods for partial data
• resolve binding failed or receive failed exceptions
