Hello list,

I have some questions about boost's async IO implementation for linux.

1. Does it use edge-triggered epoll to implement the Proactor (in terms of Reactor)?

The guide above says that boost's Proactor is implemented in terms of Reactor when it comes to Linux.

If it is based on Reactor, I guess it should be level-triggered epoll.

2. Am I right?

Then my question is 

3. Does boost use edge-triggered epoll in any kind of async IO on linux?

4. Isn't edge-triggered epoll a good method to implement async IO on linux?

Thank you very much.

Sincerely

Journeyer
