boost::asio:read and timeout
by Carla Strembicke 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hi, This has probably been asked before. Is there a way to apply a timeout on the synchronous read for a socket in boost. I have no option but to do a synchronous read. If not is there a ticket and when is the release date for this functionality.

[variant] erase a type
by Igor R 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hello, I have to erase a variant element (type). Certainly, I can take its underlying mpl sequence, find<> what I need, erase<> it, and make another variant. I believe all this will be rather heavy in terms of compile-time/resources, so perhaps there's another more short way that I miss? Thanks.

Hi all. I have a question regarding boost.program_options. I want to parse a command-line but I want to know the order in which each option appeared in the command line. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.
