Hello, I just started C++ and I need a multitthreaded server which broadcasts all messages by clients to every other client.

The piece of crap I came up with looks like this - and shows lots of errors, so I'm pretty sure its totally wrong - i just dont know Whats wrong.

#include "ServerSocket.h"
#include "SocketException.h"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main ( int argc, int argv[] )
{

  std::cout << "running....\n";

  try
    {
      while ( true )
	{

	  connection::open();

	  try
	    {
	      while ( true )
		{
		  std::string data;
		  new_sock >> data;
		  broadcast(data);
		}
	    }
	  catch ( SocketException& ) {}

	}
    }
  catch ( SocketException& e )
    {
    std::cout << "Exception was caught:" << e.description() << "\nExiting.\n";
    }

  return 0;
};

struct connection
{
ServerSocket server(3000);
ServerSocket socket[100];
bool i[100];


int reserve()
	{
	for(int iid=0;iid < 100;iid++)
		{
		if(!i[iid])
			{
			i[iid] = true;
			return iid;
			}
		}
	};

bool broadcast(std::string data)
	{
	for(bool iid=0;iid < 100;iid++)
		{
		if(i[iid])
			{
			socket[iid] << data;
			}
		}
	return true;
	};


bool open()
	{
	int iid=reserve();
	server.accept (socket[iid]);

	try
		{
		while ( true )
			{
			std::string data;
			socket[iid] >> data;
			broadcast(data);
			}
 	   	}
		catch ( SocketException& ) {}

	release(iid);
	return true;
	};

bool release(int iid)
	{
	i[iid] = false;
	return true;
	};
};
