Hello all - I am using the boost::asio library to do serial I/O with simple Linux serial port(s) like /dev/ttyS0. I have found out how this works, and it is a very impressive library (I will offer a small example program so that you might include it for other users of ASIO serial ports once I've got it cleaned up). However, in addition to using boost::asio, I am using the boost::statechart library as the controller (FSM) for a project. I have managed to get the serial port working with the boost::asio library. Now, my problem is that I have an io_service defined and initialized in my statechart FSM. Is there some way to cast or otherwise use the io_service that I have therein into a serial_port? In other words, I would rather not have to put the serial port handling code in the FSM (I'd rather 'refer' to it using the io_service if it is possible). Thanks for your help! Dave
