Re: [Boost-users] [asio] sync receive_from with timeout

4 Mar 2009


      Just a small addition. Instead of sleep, you can use a condition variable
and wait on it with timeout. So the if condition would be smth like:

if(!timed_wait(cond, timeout))
  t1.interrupt();

like this (pseudo):
void readthread() {
  try
{

// go into blocking read
    sock.sync_receive_from(...);
// signal successful read
     }
     catch(boost::thread_interrupted const& e)
     {
        //handle interruption
     }

}
original thread:
...
 thread t1(readthread);
 boost::this_thread::sleep(timeout);
if(/*not signaled successful read*/)
       t1.interrupt();
