-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, in my library I create a work object on the heap to maintain the io_service running and I assign it to a object member shared_ptr so, when the last object is destroyed, the work ends and the io_service.run() returns. All works but, if when I create an object after the thread is ended, the io_service returns immediately.. ..and I don't know why, any suggestions? Thanks!
