Detaching a native socket from Boost.ASIO's socket class

问题

Is it possible to detach a native socket from Boost.ASIO's socket class? If so, how can it be done? I can't seem to find anything obvious in the documentation.

As a quick overview of what I'm trying to accomplish: I have a class that makes a connection and does some negotiation using Boost.ASIO, then passes back a native Windows SOCKET on success or 0 on failure.

Unless I'm mistaken, the native socket will be closed and deallocated when my boost::asio::basic_socket is destructed.

Answering my own question.

Windows has a WSADuplicateSocket function, which can be used to duplicate the native socket. The underlying socket will remain open until all descriptors for this socket are deallocated.

For Mac OS X do the following (for Linux it isn't hard to modify, just notice the very idea):

1. Wrap socket in a shared_ptr, so that it won't close when passing into different routines and keep it alive (at least one reference should always exist);
2. Get a native descriptor with socket.native();

3. Remove it from kqueue:

   struct kevent event;
   EV_SET(&event, descriptor, EVFILT_READ, EV_DELETE, 0, 0, 0);  //or EVFILT_WRITE
   

4. And make it blocking if needed:

   fcntl(descriptor, F_SETFL, fcntl(descriptor, F_GETFL, 0) & ~O_NONBLOCK);
