# AMOS Professional BSD Socket Extension
2023-03-29 16:41:44 +00:00
2023-04-02 21:22:05 +00:00
Want to get online with your AMOS Professional program? Now you can in style!
2023-03-30 22:28:27 +00:00
This extension provides a wrapper around the BSD Socket library
2023-04-02 21:22:05 +00:00
provided by your Internet stack for use with AMOS Professional. There's some
attempt to roll up some of the low-level functionality into something more
usable by AMOS.
2023-03-30 22:28:27 +00:00
## Installation
* Copy `AMOSPro_BSDSocket.Lib` to `AMOSPro_System:APSystem/`
* Within AMOS Professional:
* Config -> Set Interpreter
* Load Default Configuration
* Set Loaded Extensions
* Extension Slot 18 -- `AMOSPro_BSDSocket.Lib`
* Exit
* Save Configuration
* Restart AMOS Professional
* Type in the following and Run:
```
Print Socket Library Open
```
The line should tokenize, and running it should print -1 if you have no
Internet stack running, or a large number if you do.
## Examples
### Communicating with an HTTP server

## Who's using the extension?
* [AQUABYSS](https://agedcode.com/agedcode/en/games/aquabyss)
* As of April 2023, the extension's been in heavy use for over a month
on the client side of the game.
2024-04-27 02:22:46 +00:00
* [Hop to the Top: Bunny's Revenge](https://rabbit.robsmithdev.co.uk/)
* The game uses this extension to send and receive high score information.
I also did some of the art for the game!

Doing something cool with the extension?

## General Notes
* The BSD Socket library, and all sockets, will close automatically when the program
runs again. Sockets will stay open after stopping you code so you can
debug issues from the AMOS console.
* Since AMOS takes over Ctrl-C handling, you have to continually
poll for socket statuses on nonblocking sockets. Trying to use
a blocking socket will likely cause AMOS to hang indefinitely!
* Using the Wait Async functions with small timeouts are the
most system-friendly way of doing this.
* MiamiDX can be fiddly, at least it is on my MiSTer set up.
If Internet connectivity is not working, try re-connecting to the network.
* If using Roadshow, `bsdsocket.library` will always be available, so
you can't use its presence or lack thereof to test if Internet is available.
You'll have to use a combination of DNS lookups and/or connection
timeouts using `Socket Async Wait Writing` to determine if the Internet
is available.

## Versioning
This project uses semantic versioning.
* If the major number increases, API has changed.
2023-04-01 20:49:14 +00:00
* Otherwise, the extension's API should be backwards compatible.

## Changelog
2023-04-01 20:49:14 +00:00
### 1.0.0 (2023-04-01)
2023-04-01 20:49:14 +00:00
* First public release
2023-04-04 20:57:17 +00:00
### 1.0.1 (2023-04-04)
* Fix bug in Socket Wait Async Writing where result of getsockopt was
incorrectly used.
2024-04-27 02:22:46 +00:00
### 1.1.0 (2024-02-23)
* Fix bug in `Dns Get Host Address By Name$` where it assumed AMOS strings are
null-terminated. They are not.
* Add `Socket Herrno` to aid in debugging resolver errors.
### 1.1.1 (2024-03-17)
* Fix bug in `Socket Inet Ntoa$` where the null terminator on the result of
calling `Inet_NtoA` was being included in the AMOS string.
* Fix crash bug in `Socket Inet Ntoa$` if called with the BSD Socket library
was not open.
### 1.1.2 (2024-03-18)
* Fix all functions that return strings so that strings work properly
in AMOS. While you could kind of use the immediate return value of the
string, any future manipulation of that string would fail. This fixes
the following functions:
* `Socket Inet Ntoa$`
* `Dns Get Address By Name$`
* `Socket Recv$`
### 1.1.3
Internal release.
### 1.1.4 (2024-04-26)
2024-04-27 02:35:36 +00:00
* Fix bug in fdset macro where using D3 for a parameter could cause corruption.
* Copy a null-terminated copy of IP address for `SocketIPAddressPortToSockaddr`.
* Add test suite to exercise extension functionality.
* Fix several crash bugs found due to the test suite.
* Retructure API docs for easier reading.

2024-04-27 02:35:36 +00:00
## Development
2023-03-30 22:28:27 +00:00
### Environment
2024-04-27 02:22:46 +00:00
#### Native Amiga
2023-03-30 22:28:27 +00:00
* Clone the [AMOS Professional source code](https://github.com/AOZ-Studio/AMOS-Professional-Official)
2024-04-27 02:22:46 +00:00
* Copy `AMOSPro Sources/+lequ.s` to `+LEqu.s`
* Generate the socket LVO file in the `src` directory
* Install [`fd2pragma`](https://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/fd2pragma) in your path
* Download `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cnvogelg/amitools/master/amitools/data/fd/bsdsocket_lib.fd` to `src`
* In a Shell:
```
cd src
fd2pragma bsdsocket_lib.fd to "" special 20
```
* Fix up `src/absdsocket` to match your system's setup
* In a Shell:
```
cd src
execute absdsocket
```
#### Emulated setup (WinUAE, FS-UAE, Amiberry)
Run `bin/setup` to do most of the setups above.
### Debugging
2024-04-27 02:35:36 +00:00
#### Cross-platform
2024-04-27 02:22:46 +00:00
Modify data in the `DebugArea` and read it by `Peek`/`Deek`/`Leek`ing from
the base address provided by `Socket Get Debug Area`.
2024-04-27 02:35:36 +00:00
#### WinUAE/FS-UAE
In the debugger, set a memory breakpoint at `$100` for two written bytes:
```
w 0 100 2
```
Then, in your code, clear those two bytes to stop execution at that point:
```asm
CLR.W $100
```
### Releasing
#### Ubuntu/Debian
* Install `jlha-utils` and a modern enough Java to run it
* Install Ruby
* Run `bin/release`
