Re: [Boost-users] [asio] reopening of serial port fails - why?

I tried this:

while (true) // PROBLEM: reentering this loop fails - why? {  io_service.reset();  boost::thread t(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &io_service)); [...]

Now the reconnection does not succeed either and after some tries I obtain an invalid file handle error.

It seems that you open your serial_port object in the constructor "minicom_client" wrapper. But you create it only once, before the loop starts, don't you? So after you explicitly close serial_port, no one opens it.
