I'm trying to learn how to use Bonjour using this blog article as a reference:
http://marknelson.us/2011/10/25/dns-service-discovery-on-windows/
I've download sample project linked at the bottom of that page, it works like charm. Now I'm trying to reproduce service discovery from scratch in my console application:
#include <iostream>
#include <assert.h>
#include "dns/dns_sd.h"
class CDnsSd
{
public:
bool discoverAsync ();
private:
static void DNSSD_API onDiscoveryFinished (DNSServiceRef sdRef, DNSServiceFlags flags, uint32_t interfaceIndex,
DNSServiceErrorType errorCode, const char *serviceName, const char *regtype,
const char *replyDomain, void *context);
};
bool CDnsSd::discoverAsync()
{
DNSServiceRef client = NULL;
const DNSServiceErrorType err = DNSServiceBrowse( &client, 0, 0, ""_services._dns-sd._udp"", "", onDiscoveryFinished, this );
return err == kDNSServiceErr_NoError;
}
void DNSSD_API CDnsSd::onDiscoveryFinished( DNSServiceRef sdRef, DNSServiceFlags flags, uint32_t interfaceIndex, DNSServiceErrorType errorCode, const char *serviceName, const char *regtype, const char *replyDomain, void *context )
{
std::cout << __FUNCTION__;
}
void main ()
{
CDnsSd dnsSd;
const bool ret = dnsSd.discoverAsync();
assert(ret);
Sleep(10000000);
}
DNSServiceBrowse
returns kDNSServiceErr_NoError
, but the callback is never called. What's wrong?
You need a main loop processing Bonjour events. Look at the link you provided carefully. It's there in the "Driving the Callbacks" section.
