Re: [Boost-users] async processing issues

See my comments below.

// dir_monitor thread boost::thread mthread = boost::thread(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, boost::ref(io_service)));

// setup work to prevent premature exit shared_ptrboost::asio::io_service::work work(new boost::asio::io_service::work(work_service));

Set "work" *before* running io_service, otherwise io_service::run might already have exited at this point, because it's out of work.

while (true) { io_service.reset();

I'm not sure what this loop is for, but why do you reset io_service? It will stop working. Please, read manual: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/io_servic...
