Re: [Boost-users] Does the Proactor of boost uses edge-triggered epoll on linux?

I have some questions about boost's async IO implementation for linux.

1. Does it use edge-triggered epoll to implement the Proactor (in terms of Reactor)?

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/core/async...

The guide above says that boost's Proactor is implemented in terms of Reactor when it comes to Linux.

If it is based on Reactor, I guess it should be level-triggered epoll. 2. Am I right?

Then my question is 3. Does boost use edge-triggered epoll in any kind of async IO on linux? 4. Isn't edge-triggered epoll a good method to implement async IO on linux?

Don't the following notes aswer your question? http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/implementa...
