Winsock2 - How to use IOCP on client side

I’ve recently started learning IOCP on Windows and been reading the following article:

http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/95363/Another-TCP-echo-server-using-IOCP

You can download the sample for the article from:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/281215/documentation/iocp-1.00.html

The sample contains two simple applications – iocp_echo_server and TcpEchoClient.

I understand that IOCP is usually used on the server side of the client/server model but I’d like to create a client using IOCP.

I’ve so far tried modifying the client sample above so that whenever the server sends a response to the client, it gets picked up automatically, however it doesn’t work.

I’ve left iocp_echo_server.c as is. My modified version of TcpEchoClient.c looks like:

//TcpEchoClient.c - a minimalistic echo client

When the server send a response by calling:

WSASend(socketState->socket, &wsabuf, 1, NULL, 0, ovl, NULL)

I’d expect it to be picked up by the client on this line: 

resultOk = get_completion_status(&length, &socketState, &ovl_res);

But it doesn’t…

Would anybody be able to tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Edit:

I’ve taken the following points:

  • On the client side, you use WSAConnect() to create an outbound connection.
  • Call WSARecv() and WSASend() to start reading/writing operations when needed
  • you have to use WSASend/WSARecv if you want to use I/O completion ports.

and attempted to create a simple IOCP based client:

Sorry this post is getting too long.

I've had another go trying to implement an IOCP based client after reading Remy's comments below but I'm still not sure if I'm on the right track.
