Re: [Boost-users] [Boost.Asio] defer, dispatch and post differences?

*post* used to cause the handler to be executed some time in the future on a thread associated with the executor. It was guaranteed not to happen immediately. *dispatch* used to: a. if called by a thread currently associated with the executor, cause the handler to happen now. b. otherwise behave as per post. Has this really changed, or does the documentation have an error? On 5 January 2018 at 08:45, Vinnie Falco via Boost-users < boost-users@lists.boost.org> wrote:

The free functions defer, dispatch and post all have the exact same set of overloads and description in the library's reference (version 1.66.0).

My understanding is that the post and defer functions replace the old asio_handler_is_continuation mechanism. See:
