Re: [Boost-users] boost thread (non-blocking) communication

Hi,

I am trying to do data-exchange communication among boost::threads.

Are there asynchronous (non-blocking) communication APIs in boost ?

For example,

non_block_send( receiver_address, data_buffer, data_volume, data_tag , send_status );

non_block_recv( sender_address, data_buffer, data_volume, data_tag , recv_status );

if (recv_status == TRUE) getData(data_buffer) ; else wait;

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks

I used circular buffer - specifically the "bounded buffer" example to implement this behavior. I found it to be a perfect and easy to use solution. Robert Ramey
