Issues with UdpMulticastBus and MacOS

Open jmailloux opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug

There are 2 issues with UdpMulticastBus and MacOS. First one is once one process opened the socket, another process could not. This made having one process send messages and another receive them on the same computer problematic. Doing this: sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEPORT, 1) fixed that problem. The second one was reading timestamps with SIOCGSTAMP didn't work - MacOS doesn't support that ioctl. I don't know how to fix that one. I just removed it and replaced the timestamp with a sequence number instead.

To Reproduce

Try to set up a UdpMulticastBus interface on 2 processes on MacOS (v14.4)

Expected behavior

Able to set up multiple UdpMulticastBus interfaces on multiple processes on same computer

Additional context

OS and version: MacOS 14.4 Python version: 3.12.2 python-can version: main python-can interface/s (if applicable): UdpMulticastBus

I have code to address these issues - I can submit a pull request if desired.

Traceback and logs

import can

def receive_messages(): # Configure the bus with the multicast group and port bus = can.Bus(interface='udp_multicast', channel='239.0.0.1', port=10000, receive_own_messages=False)

print(f"Listening for messages...")
while True:
    message = bus.recv()  # Block until a message is received
    if message:
        print(f"Received: {message}")

if name == 'main': receive_messages()
