once io_service::run() returns, the io_service will be in the stopped() state. This happens when there are no remaining async operations waiting to complete on it. In a multi-threaded environment you must keep the io_service running by creating an io_service::work object against it. Then when you want to stop your communications loop, you would call op_service::stop() and join the threads.
Actually that's not strictly true. As long as any operation or handler is pending, the io_service won't stop on its own. So if you ensure that your async_read handler always starts another async_read (and if the socket disconnects you immediately reconnect it), then you don't need io_service::work; you only need that if there can be "dead times" when no async operation is pending. It's usually simpler to use it than not to, though. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
