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

Hello, I have a udp listener socket, I want that to run in a separate thread. Just listen for incoming messages and pass the message to message handler. I checked the tutorial, it shows

boost::asio::io_service io_service; udp_server server(io_service); io_service.run();

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. -- Jon Biggar Floorboard Software jon@floorboard.com jon@biggar.org
