C++ Boost ASIO: how to read/write with a timeout?

Question

From reading other Stack Overflow entries and the boost::asio documentation, I\'ve confirmed that there is no synchronous ASIO read/write calls that also provid

Answer 1

I used some asio docs to produce this:

class TimeoutAdjust
{
public:
  TimeoutAdjust(unsigned int dwTimeout) : m_dwTimeout(dwTimeout) {};

  template
  int level(const Protocol& p) const {return SOL_SOCKET;}

  template
  int name(const Protocol& p) const {return SO_SNDTIMEO;}

  template
  const void* data(const Protocol& p) const {return &m_dwTimeout;}

  template
  size_t size(const Protocol& p) const {return sizeof(m_dwTimeout);}
private:
  unsigned int m_dwTimeout;
};

Usage:

TimeoutAdjust adjust(5000);
sSocket.set_option(adjust);

I debugged it, and it appears to do what it is supposed to.
