Good evening, everyone.
Ok, I have been searching and searching the web for the last 2 days and haven't found any solution. So I decided to finally ask one here. Forgive me, maybe the reason I cannot find my solution is because I don't know how to phrase it correctly. I will try my best here.

I am trying to have a client soon as he connects to my server to be pushed off into lets say the "login" function. While keeping the server in its loop waiting for a new connection to arrive, and then forward them off to the next function as well. The only thing I can think of is multi-threading. I have it working on my client side program to open a window and keep communication with the server. Here is my code:

So this is how I have my header setup. I am not having any compile errors. Only an exception when the program gets to my transfer function.

#include "pch.h"

#include <WinSock2.h>

#include <WS2tcpip.h>

#include <sstream>



//////////////////////////SERVER MULTIPLE CLIENTS/////////////////////////

#pragma comment (lib, "ws2_32.lib")





///Function for transferring clients

void sockTransfer();



using namespace std;

class SERVER

This is how I have my loop setup to keep receiving connections. And at the bottom you will see me call out my function for sending clients to attempt to put them onto a separate thread.

    while (true)

    {

        //Copy the master port//?? What reason do you have to copy the port?

        fd_set copy = master;

        //Checks the ammount of connected clients(Open Sockets)



        int socketCount = select(0, &copy, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);

        // While there is a connection to the server(Open Sockets) run this 

            loop

        for (int i = 0; i < socketCount; i++)

        {



            SOCKET sock = copy.fd_array[i];



            if (sock == listening)

            {

                //accept the new connection

                SOCKET client = accept(listening, nullptr, nullptr);



                cout << "Adding client socket to master Arrary...";



                //Add the new connection to the list of clients connected to 

                  //&master(array)

                FD_SET(client, &master);

                cout << "done" << endl;

                //Send a welcome message to the client

                send(client, bannarMsg.c_str(), bannarMsg.size() + 1, 0);

            cout << client << "has connected to socket: " << sock << endl;         





                ///////////////////////////////////TESTING/////////////////

                sockTransfer();

the sockTransfer() callout sends to here with the attempt to adding it to a new thread.
so I had to separate the functions because the WinSock2.h, WS2tcpip.h headers conflict with the boost/asio.hpp header.

void sockTransfer()

{

clientMultithreading();

}

then finally arriving to my threading function. here...

 void clientMultithreading()

    {

        thread tnew(login);

        if (1 == 0)

        {

            tnew.join();

        }



    }

My hope was that once the new socket was created it would bounce back to where it left off in the listening loop.

I know this is a very poor setup of code. with little error checking. I was going to clean it up and modify it once I can get it to work properly.

I know it is a lengthy question. I tried to cut out as much code unnecessary to this question. I thank you for your time in looking this over. Hope this is clear enough of a question.
