[Summary]

StormByte Network is the C++26 networking layer of the StormByte suite.

Inherit Client or Server, define packets, and attach Buffer pipelines.
IPv4 and IPv6, framed request/response, POSIX and Winsock stay behind the public API.

Initial public release of StormByte-Network.

Added

  • Endpoint abstraction (Client / Server) for inheritance-oriented application protocols
    • Pluggable DeserializePacketFunction for domain packet construction
    • Overridable InputPipeline() / OutputPipeline() (Buffer::Pipeline) for compression, encryption, etc.
    • Request/response via framed Transport::Packet (Send / Reply)
  • Client
    • Connect over IPv4/IPv6 (Connection::Protocol)
    • Status query and clean disconnect
  • Server
    • Listen/accept loop on a dedicated thread
    • Per-client worker threads and UUID-keyed client map
    • Pure virtual ProcessClientPacket() for application logic
    • Safe shutdown (stop accept, join workers, disconnect peers)
  • Transport layer
    • Packet base: opcode + DoSerialize() payload hook
    • PROCESS_THRESHOLD to optionally pipeline payloads
    • Frame on-wire layout: opcode, payload size, payload
    • Pipeline processing on frame input/output when the threshold is met
  • Sockets
    • Cross-platform TCP client/server (POSIX + Windows Winsock)
    • Non-blocking I/O, configurable SO_SNDBUF/SO_RCVBUF, TCP_NODELAY
    • Chunked send/receive with timeouts and exact-size ReceiveInto
    • WaitForData via epoll (Linux), poll (other UNIX), WSA events (Windows)
    • Peer shutdown detection, peek, and lightweight ping
    • Reader / Writer adapters implementing Buffer::ExternalReader / ExternalWriter
  • Connection helpers
    • Singleton Handler (WSAStartup/cleanup, last-error helpers)
    • Info hostname resolution and sockaddr metadata
    • Connection status and read/write result enums with string helpers
  • Exceptions: ConnectionError, ConnectionClosed, PacketError, FrameError
  • CMake build, tests, LGPL-3.0-or-later

Notes

  • Client and Server are designed to be subclassed, not used as generic drop-in types without derivation.
  • Public API surface is stable for the 1.x series; private socket/connection types remain implementation details.
