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

30 Dec 2010

      Hi,

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);
}

What could be the reason?

Thanks in advance,
   Lloyd
