Hi all,
I’m trying to send data to client through the dinamic array that i’m creating.
when i sent data with static array char type the client got it just fine. but when i’m sending like that he is getting a lot of garbage after the message.
Is there anything wrong with my array that i’m sneding?

Answer 1

iResult_send = send( ConnectSocket, sendbuf, (int)strlen(sendbuf), 0 );

Message size determination is wrong. Try to use list.size() against it.
