Here's a simplified version of my call and handler:
unsigned char tmpBuffer[512]; //global
void MyClass::handler(const boost::system::error_code& error, size_t bytes_transferred) { boost::system::error_code e; std::cerr << "handler called()" << "\n"; }
void MyClass::test() {
... socketPtr->async_read_some(boost::asio::buffer(tmpBuffer, 512), boost::bind(&MyClass::handler, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error,
boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred)); }
Can anyone give me any idea as to how I can get my handler to be called?
Could you please provide some code-excerpt that should compile and work? I.e. code that contains socket initialization, io_service run and your object creation - because the mistake is probably somewhere at those points.
Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using boost::asio::io_service::post()." I'm not sure exactly what this means...what is this equivalent manner that is mentioned?
It means that the handler would be invoked in one of the threads that run the io_service object used by the socked.
