Re: [Boost-users] [ASIO] permanently blocked io_service.run()

Igor, Thanks a lot. I figured they must be a way to do it; that work class slipped by me unnoticed on the reference page. It seems like they thought of everything. thanks

My question is how do I keep the thread's io_service.run() from returning right away, since there will be no work for the io_service.run() to do until the server lines up a new connection for the thread to handle?

Use asio::io_service::work class: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/io_servic... Look at the following example for details: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/http/server... jose "survival first, then happiness as we can manage it"
