LwIP websrv async communication

Hello,

Using the IMXRT1062, with SDK v2.9.1. It contains a websocket example via LwIP (lwip_httpsrv_freertos). In this example, data is send to the connected socket via the WS_Send function.

The parameter for the WS_Send function is WS_USER_CONTEXT_STRUCT:

 

/*
 * WebSocket data structure
 */
typedef struct ws_data_struct
{
    /* Pointer to user data. */
    uint8_t *data_ptr;
    /* Length of user data. */
    uint32_t length;
    /* Type of data. */
    WS_DATA_TYPE type;
} WS_DATA_STRUCT;

/*
 * Structure passed as parameter to user callbacks
 */
typedef struct ws_user_context_struct
{
    /* WebSocket handle. */
    uint32_t handle;
    /* Error code if error occurs. */
    WS_ERROR_CODE error;
    /* Data structure. */
    WS_DATA_STRUCT data;
    /* Flag signalizing end of message. */
    uint32_t fin_flag;
} WS_USER_CONTEXT_STRUCT;

 

The data is passed via data_ptr, and send to the socket task via sys_mbox_post.

Now my question:

How do you know that the data you pointed to in data_ptr has been send?
Since the WS_send function returns before the data has been send, how do I know when the data pointed to via data_ptr can be invalidated?

 

Do I put the data on the stack?

 

uint8_t data_to_send[2] = {..};
WS_USER_CONTEXT_STRUCT c;
c.data.data_ptr = data_to_send;
WS_send(&c);

 

Do I malloc it?

Or I'm I missing a point here?

Clearly, I need to manage the data correctly to make sure that the websocket is not using an old pointer to transmit data.

Thanks for you feedback,

Jonathan.

Hello Jonathan, 

The error checking is done through callbacks, the one that you need is ws_echo_error. For this callback to work properly, you will need to activate the DEBUG_WS macro.
