[Winpcap-users] after 32 loops pcap_findalldevs() startsreturning0 adapters. Why?

Hi,

The problem we are facing 
 
1)   After certain loops the pcap_findalldevs  starts returning Zero device.
2)   After every loop the memory usage increaments approx 1000 K.

The solution given by Vasily Borovyak  did not solve the problem( now we are using pcap_freealldevs before continue as suggested)

Also Is there any other way /function (like pcap_findalldevs )  to find all devices supported by pcap_open_live()

Thanx

Regards,
Santosh

  Hi Friend,

  Thanx for u r quick response.

  elaburate what you mean to say.

  The reason why we have put continue after each pcap_freealldevs is that in case of any error it will go back to fetching the device list.

  Santosh

    I'm not sure but I think the code logic is wrong. I would recommend you to put pcap_freealldevs(allDevs); 
    call before each continue statement.

      Hi All, 

      We are using WinPcap 3.0 to create an application, the problem wwhich we are encountering is after 32 loops pcap_findalldevs() starts returning 0 adapters.

      We are simply counting the available adapters after 1/2 seconds . Following is the code which we are using.Kindly advise why after approx 32 loops it starts returning 0 adapters.

    SKIPPED
