[lwip-users] minimal echo example

[Christiaan Simons]

Hi all,

I'm tinkering around with the 'minimal' echo (tcp) example.
At first, it didn't work at all. I've added a NULL pbuf ptr
check around pbuf_free() in close_conn() to get it in
some workable state.

The echo server seems to run fine for a couple of echos (50 or so),
but when really pushing it, it stumbles.

Then I found the echo server failed when performing an 'active close'.
I've tried to fix this by adding in echo_recv() an extra test before
calling close_conn()

if (p == NULL) { --> if ((es == NULL) || (p == NULL)) {

Now, the acive close seems to work fine, but now I'm
hitting a out-of-memory condition after about 1000 .. 2000 echos.

I get a "Could not allocate pbuf" in the FIN_WAIT_2 state.
There must be a memory leak somewhere, the pbuf.used count
reaches the PBUF_POOL_SIZE.

Anyone got a suggestion where to look?
Do I need to pbuf_free() in echo_recv in one
of the exceptional/error cases?

BTW: The unixsim example builds with a lot of warnings,
I didn't dare to touch that one yet.

Bye,
Christiaan.
