Hello, I want to use asio library for my serial communication module but I'm having trouble on asynchronous functionality. In the following code block, I wanted to read 5 bytes from the first serial port of my computer in 10 seconds. But none of the handler functions were called. Firstly I waited not inputing any bytes but timer did not call wait_handler. Secondly I sent 5 bytes in 10 seconds from the other computer but read_handler was not called. I could read the bytes using synchronous functions like read function, I mean there is nothing wrong with the communication. I tried this code both on a Windows and a Linux host but results were the same.. Can you please check what can be wrong with the following code? ************************************************************** #include <iostream> #include #include #include using namespace std; using namespace boost::asio; using namespace boost::system; using namespace boost::posix_time; struct wait_handler { void operator()(const error_code& ec){ cout << "Timeout!" << endl; } }; struct read_handler { void operator()(const error_code& ec, size_t bytes_transferred) { cout << "Data read!" << endl; } }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { char read_msg_[5]; io_service io; serial_port theport(io, "com1"); deadline_timer * timer = new deadline_timer(io); timer->expires_from_now(seconds(10)); wait_handler whandler; timer->async_wait(whandler); read_handler rhandler; async_read(theport, buffer(read_msg_, 5), rhandler); Sleep(30000); //30 seconds return 0; } ************************************************************** Best Regards, Gözde Bahar Koş ###################################################################### Dikkat: Bu elektronik posta mesaji kisisel ve ozeldir.
