boost-asio

I have been running through a few tutorials of boost and the libraries it has. I ran through the basic tutorial for boost: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html and it worked fine. I am having issues with the asio tutorial: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tutdaytime1/src.html It looks like linking errors, but I am including the same path as before: g++ -I /usr/local/boost_1_52_0 test.cpp -o example Error: /tmp/cce4EZME.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)': test.cpp:(.text+0x57b): undefined

I'm writing multicast client/server application based on this and this ; which work great. However, I would also need to do something when the number of active network interfaces in the computer changes, something like what the program in the example section of this page does. I guess I should use the tools in boost::asio::local, but I am unsure whether I should use boost::asio::local::datagram_protocol or boost::asio::local::stream_protocol or... An example of how to do something as similar as possible would be really helpful. Thanks. As you noticed there's a little bit extra code that has to

The below is as minimal of an example as I can get. It does need to be in separate files as that seems to be what causes the segmentation fault error. I'm using Mingw x32 4.8.1 with Asio standalone 1.10.6 . I've also tested with TDM GCC 4.7.1 and Mingw x64 4.8.1. All of these under Windows produce the same segfault. There's no such issue under Linux with the latest version of GCC. edit: I've just finished testing on Mingw-w64 5.2.0 (the Mingw-Builds build of it). Same problem. I've also tested compiling this with TDM GCC 4.8.1 on a fresh virtual machine and get the same segfault. Edit: I've

I found this question which asks how to read input asynchronously, but will only work with POSIX stream descriptors, which won't work on Windows. So, I found this tutorial which shows that instead of using a POSIX stream descriptor I can use a boost::asio::windows::stream_handle . Following both examples I came up with the code below. When I run it, I cannot type anything into the command prompt, as the program immediately terminates. I'd like it to capture any input from the user, possibly into a std::string , while allowing other logic within my program to execute (i.e. perform asynchronous

I am merely trying to create a boost ip::tcp::socket from an existing native socket. In the assign function , the first parameter must be a "protocol_type" and the second must be a "native_type", but it never explains what these are or gives an example of its use. I'm guessing the second should be the socket descriptor, but I'd really appreciate clarification. void SendData (int socket, std::string message) { boost::asio::io_service ioserv; boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket s(ioserv); s.assign(/* what goes here? */, /* ..and here? */); s.send(boost::asio::buffer(message)); } "Native type" is just

Studying boost asio and find out a class called "strand", as far as I understand. If there are only one io_service associated to a specific strand and post the handle by the strand. example(from here ) boost::shared_ptr< boost::asio::io_service > io_service( new boost::asio::io_service ); boost::shared_ptr< boost::asio::io_service::work > work( new boost::asio::io_service::work( *io_service ) ); boost::asio::io_service::strand strand( *io_service ); boost::thread_group worker_threads; for( int x = 0; x < 2; ++x ) { worker_threads.create_thread( boost::bind( &WorkerThread, io_service ) ); }
