TCPAccept problem - Please verify

TCPStartup()
;
Local $nListen = TCPListen('127.0.0.1', 61000)
Local $timer, $timerdiff, $nSocket
;
Do
    $timer = TimerInit()
    $nSocket = TCPAccept($nListen)
    $timerdiff = TimerDiff($timer)
    MsgBox(0, '', Round($timerdiff, 1) & ' ms', 2)
Until $nSocket > 0

Function:
TCPAccept()

Affected:
All versions from v3.3.10.0 to v3.3.15.0.

Problem:
Depending on what computer and OS is used, TCPAccept is 7 to 10 times
slower than v3.3.8.1.

Explanation:
Some time ago, I noticed that TCPRecv loops seemed slower than with
previous versions. I had no idea what the problem could be, nor did
I have the time to trouble-shoot the problem. The loop was working,
but not as fast as before. I had been using my own WSA code for TCP,
so I wasn't too concerned about it.

After some extensive testing, trying to figure out an unrelated issue
from one of our members, I discovered that TCPAccept was the problem.

The reproducer script will show the difference between v3.3.8.1 and
newer versions, starting with v3.3.10.0.

My Timer Results using v3.3.8.1:
0.85 to 15.0 ms

My Timer Results using newer versions:
102.0 to 110.0 ms

Conclusion:
This problem may not appear to be a big issue, but when you're
transferring data 7 to 10 times slower than normal, it makes a
difference. Especially, since typical TCPRecv speed is 10ms and
TCPAccept is in the same main loop.

Maybe the functions from this topic can help you find the resolution

Deye,

Thanks for the link, but this is specific to the internal code of AutoIt.
It will benefit the AutoIt community to correct it by a developer.

Here is a TCPAccept alternative which was made as an #include.

From my tests, it's faster than 3.3.8.1 -- runs at about 1 ms or less.

Here is the test script for it...

#include 'WSA_TCPAccept.au3'

TCPStartup()
;
Local $nListen = TCPListen('127.0.0.1', 61000)
Local $timer, $timerdiff, $nSocket, $error
;
Do
    $timer = TimerInit()
    $nSocket = _WSA_TCPAccept($nListen)
    $error = @error
    $timerdiff = TimerDiff($timer)
    MsgBox(0, 'Error: ' & $error, Round($timerdiff, 3) & ' ms', 2)
Until $nSocket > 0
;
TCPShutdown()

And here is the include...

WSA_TCPAccept.au3
