I've been trying to debug an issue where a call to getpeername on a connected tcp socket returns ENOTCONN with no prior errors being reported by previous socket calls. At first I thought this was perl / perl module bug but I've now reproduced the behaviour with a small native c client. The flow is:- 0. socket 1. connect 2. getpeername 3. send 4. recv <- 14 bytes 5. sleep(1) 6. getpeername 7. send 8. recv <- 0 bytes 9. getpeername 10. send 11. recv <- 0 bytes 12. getpeername <- error ENOTCONN Now given no previous errors from either connect, send or recv if the connection has been terminated by the other end, which tcpdump shows its has (RST), I would expect to get ECONNRESET from getpeername and not ENOTCONN. The only case I would expect ENOTCONN is if either no connect call had been made or if it was unsuccessful. Am I missing something here, is ENOTCONN and expected result from a previously connected socket with no other indication of error?
