[...]Of course this works for the synchronous server where there is an explicit loop; an asynchronous server needs to call { service->stop(); } My experiment shows that it is does not produce any visible failure under SuSE; however, it is not clear whether io_service::stop can be called from within a signal handler.
It's not safe to call io_service::stop in a signal handler (io_service is thread-safe; there are Pthread functions called in io_service::stop which are not safe to call in signal handlers). Boris
