Re: [Boost-users] Why boost::asio doesn't work???

Igor, that doesn't seem correct to me, from what I can tell (by reading the docs, and using it) is that io_service::run() will not return immediately if there is no work.

http://eckhart.stderr.org/doc/libasio-doc/reference/a00032.html#c84bed0d1dd0...

"The run() function blocks until all work has finished and there are no more handlers to be dispatched, or until the io_service has been stopped."

I don't quite understand how you came to your conclusion from the above quotation, as it states exactly the opposite. But anyway, try and run the following code: #include int main() { asio::io_service io; asio::ip::tcp::socket sock(ip); io.run(); }
