Provided the local endpoint we are listening to is the same, it is safe to call
listen
multiple times. Fixes the doc comment for the function too.This isn't much use for this in smoltcp, in embassy-net it's crucial when writing an acceptor loop. Without this, if you try and accept on a socket that's already listening you'll immediately get an error. The only way around this is to first
abort
the socket, but this means that incoming connections can actually get aborted between theabort()
and the nextaccept()
, as I have sadly experienced myself today 🥲.
