Summary: WSAStartup() is not required to do networking
Product: Wine
Version: 0.9.49.
Platform: PC-x86-64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: winsock
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: mark at ookoo.org
On Windows (tested at least on Xp, and this is also according to MSDN doc),
when calling any network function, you absolutely have to call WSAStartup()
before.
If you didn't call WSAStartup(), any ws2_32 function will fail, with error
WSANOTINITIALISED (10093).
I'm writing cross-compilable programs on linux that should also run on Win32,
and I do all my tests on wine.
It took me a while to find out why people trying to use this program on real
windows boxes had troubles accessing network.
The expected behaviour for Winsock2 functions is to fail, unless WSAStartup()
was called. For each time you call WSAStartup(), you have to call WSACleanup()
once.
