Re: [Boost-users] Multiple async operations on a socket

I have a boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket that I want to write to.   Can I have multiple outstanding async_write() requests for a single socket?

asio::async_write() is a convenience function that calls socket::async_write_some() multiple times - until all the data is sent. This means that if you issue multiple asio::async_write's, the data will be interleaved in most cases. As for multiple async_write_some(), it will probably work on some platforms... But note that async_write_some doesn't promise to send all your data. So you can't "fire and forget" anyway.
