Re: [Boost-users] The callback of the timer inside a thread is not called

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {    boost::thread thrd_io(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &io_service));

The above will probably exit immediately, as it doesn't have work.

   boost::thread workerThread(workerFunc);  while ( true ) {        try {            io_service.run();

This one might also exit before another thread gives any work to the io_service. In short, try to create io_service::work before you call io_service::run() and see if it helps.
