I'm implementing a TCP server based on the CocoaEcho sample code. This
code uses CFSocket to open the listener socket. Unfortunately the
error reporting is very limited — basically "duh, I couldn't create
the socket" or "duh, I couldn't set the address". Is there any way to
get more detailed error codes, something like a POSIX errno value?
Unfortunately the CFNetwork sources aren't available anymore, but if you look at the old sources, you'll see the function _CFSocketLastError() simply calls thread_errno(). Since _CFSocketLastError() is private, you might as well look at the value of errno. Since CFSocket performs some work on a private thread, that trick won't work if the error occured on a different thread, however the only work performed on a seperate thread are read/write/accept. It sounds like the problems you are encountering are with socket() and bind() which are performed on the calling thread.
