Re: [Boost-users] boost asio tcp::socket assign

Thanks Igor, then is there any method/operator (=) available in asio to assign a socket to another socket? Thanks a lot, Lloyd On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 2:24 PM, Igor R wrote:

I have a boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket variable (reference) in a class, and it is initialized at the object construction time. At a later time I need to assign a new socket to this "socket reference variable". I think boost::assign is meant for that. But when I use assign, get the following error... (or is there any other method available?)

.....cannot convert parameter 2 from 'boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket' to 'const boost::asio::detail::win_iocp_socket_service<Protocol>::native_type &'

The code snippet is as follows...

class MyClass { .... .....  private:         tcp::socket& Socket; }

void MyClass::SetSocket(tcp::socket& s) {        Socket.assign(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(),s); }

assign() sets a native socket handler to the tcp::socket object. I.e. if you open a socket by means of some native API, then you can assign() this native socket handle to tcp::socket. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
