Hi, yu have to start the io_service only once. But make sure your io_service stays running. The event loop stops running when there are no more items in its queue. That means if you return from your timer without starting a new timer it will return immediately. Regards, Ronny On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 3:13 PM, Iskandar Prins <iprins@alphabay.nl> wrote:
Ok, so basically when starting the timer, you need to call ioservice.run() as well

I have a question regarding the asio::deadline_timer , it seems I need to run the ioservice.run() all the time in order to update the timer, which is seems undesirable. Any idea how I can just start the timer and wait for the callback instead?
I was playing around with this today too. It seems that you only need to call io_service::run() once (that will start the timer).
