Re: [Boost-users] boost thread (non-blocking) communication

I am trying to do data-exchange communication  among boost::threads. Are there asynchronous (non-blocking) communication APIs in boost ? For example, non_block_send( receiver_address,  data_buffer, data_volume, data_tag , send_status ); non_block_recv( sender_address,  data_buffer, data_volume, data_tag , recv_status ); if (recv_status  == TRUE)                           getData(data_buffer) ; else wait;

Perhaps futures can be helpful: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#th...
