使用socket开发 的网络应用系统，在XP上运行的一向很好。现在移到新的机器上，新机器XP升级到sp2上，结果网络应用系统的服务器程序频繁出错，很奇怪。
后来经过跟踪发现，在新的环境中，recv函数发生了错误，虽然recv函数是阻塞的，但新的MSDN上说，recv及send函数在一些情况下会立即返回，并设置错误为WSAEWOULDBLOCK.。
下面是Microsoft的MSDN的 WSAAsyncSelect API中说明：
As in the case of the
select function,
WSAAsyncSelect will frequently be used to determine when a data transfer operation (send or
recv)
can be issued with the expectation of immediate success. Nevertheless,
a robust application must be prepared for the possibility that it can
receive a message and issue a Windows Sockets 2 call that returns WSAEWOULDBLOCK immediately. For example, the following sequence of events is possible:
Data arrives on socket s; Windows Sockets 2 posts
WSAAsyncSelect messageApplication processes some other messageWhile processing, application issues an ioctlsocket(s, FIONREAD...) and notices that there is data ready to be readApplication issues a recv(s,...) to read the dataApplication loops to process next message, eventually reaching the
WSAAsyncSelect message indicating that data is ready to readApplication issues recv(s,...), which fails with the error WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
Other sequences are also possible.
The WS2_32.DLL will not continually flood an application with
messages for a particular network event. Having successfully posted
notification of a particular event to an application window, no further
message(s) for that network event will be posted to the application
window until the application makes the function call that implicitly
reenables notification of that network event.
所以在网络应用中要检查是否错误并且是WSAEWOULDBLOCK，并进行相关处理。但在sp2之前居然都能正常使用。
