Sockets returned by wxSocket::Accept() are non-blocking by default and the only way to use them safely in worker threads is by switching them to the blocking mode by calling SetFlags(wxSOCKET_BLOCK). However this didn't work correctly since at least 2.8 days, as turning wxSOCKET_BLOCK on didn't unregister the socket from the event loop, with which it had been registered on creation. Fix this by doing this now, which ensures that the main thread doesn't get any notifications about the socket if it's used, in a blocking way, in a worker thread. Note that making the new socket blocking after accpeting is still pretty inefficient and pre-creating the socket as blocking and using AcceptWith() is still preferable, but at least it does work now. Closes #12886.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at https://docs.wxwidgets.org/
