Re: [Boost-users] how to run listener socket in a separate thread

...

I see the run() method running in a loop. Then how do I stop the service from some other thread?.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Arrange for a way for another thread can call top() on the first thread's io_service object.

stop() sends a signal to end a threads execution of run(), so it's as simple as another thread holding a reference to io_service and invoking when required.
