boost::asio : data corruption

问题

I present a simple client and server written in Asio to show something that might be a bug. client repeatedly sends a fixed string of length 102 to the server and server checks the string to be correct and writes an error message if not so and exits.

The code is compiled and run in debian 7 (amd64)
my processor has 2 cores
boost version is 1.55

when running server and client, after a few thousand packets are sent a wrong packet is received.(it may be required to repeat the test a few times)

what is the problem?

回答1:

the problem comes from the following for loop:

for(;;)
    {
        boost::asio::async_write(sock, boost::asio::buffer(teststr,102),
                boost::bind(&handle_write,
                boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred,
                boost::asio::placeholders::error));
    }

an async_write operation may be begin before the completion of previous async_write which is not allowed.
REF: async_write

the correct way is to eliminate the for loop and call async_write in the handle_write function:

#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>

using boost::asio::ip::tcp;

char teststr[]="1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890\n";

void handle_write(tcp::socket* sock, size_t num_bytes, boost::system::error_code e)
{
    static int i=0;
    if(!e)
    {
        std::cout<<i++<<std::endl;
        boost::asio::async_write(*sock, boost::asio::buffer(teststr,102),
                boost::bind(&handle_write, sock,
                    boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred,
                    boost::asio::placeholders::error));
    }
    else
    {
        std::cout<<"Error: "<<e.message()<<std::endl;
        exit(1);
    }
}

int main()
{
    boost::asio::io_service ios;

    tcp::resolver r(ios);
    tcp::resolver::query q(tcp::v4(), "127.0.0.1", "41000");
    tcp::resolver::iterator it = r.resolve(q);

    tcp::socket sock(ios);
    boost::asio::connect(sock, it);

    boost::thread t(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run,&ios));
    boost::asio::async_write(sock, boost::asio::buffer(teststr,102),
            boost::bind(&handle_write, &sock,
                boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred,
                boost::asio::placeholders::error));
    t.join();
}
