[Boost-users] Boost asio reuse address

Hi, Just wanted to know if setting the following option on acceptor should be ever done or not.. When should this be used.. acceptor_.set_option(boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true)); The reason I am asking this is because I have a server application which crashed but the socket did not close. So, the next time, I was bringing up the server, I get the error : Error occured! Error code = system:98. Message: bind: Address already in use But, even giving the option above, it is not working fine. I referred to the URL : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34596638/boost-asio-so-reuseport to figure out the steps in which acceptor should be created from this link. Best Regards, Nishant Sharma
