sockets - Why do we need SocketOptions.SO_BROADCAST to enable broadcast? -

-

if want broadcast information socket, need enable socketoptions.so_broadcast. however, don't understand why necessary.

my understanding set packet broadcast address, same way set unicast address. need send through regular socket. if udp socket, udp header added packet, , ip header containing receiver's ip address (in case broadcast address in form of 192.168.255.255), , mac address (ff:ff:ff:ff) added.

i think router packet , perform broadcast. don't understand why need set socket attribute so_broadcast.

"socket semantics require application set so_broadcast option on before attempting send datagram base or broadcast address. protects application accidentally sending datagram many systems."

i expect reference counting should work on outer aggregating object in interface implementation. if can refer example: clarity in classes implementing multiple interfaces (alternative delegation): here minimal reproduction of behaviour: program so16210993; {$apptype console} type ifoo = interface procedure foo; end; tfooimpl = class(tinterfacedobject, ifoo) procedure foo; end; tcontainer = class(tinterfacedobject, ifoo) private ffoo: ifoo; public constructor create; destructor destroy; override; property foo: ifoo read ffoo implements ifoo; end; procedure tfooimpl.foo; begin writeln('tfooimpl.foo called'); end; constructor tcontainer.create; begin inherited; ffoo := tfooimpl.create; end; destructor tcontainer.destroy; begin writeln('tcontainer.destroy called');//this line never runs inherited; end; procedure main; var foo : ifoo; begin foo := tcontainer.create; foo.foo; end; begin main; readln...
