Re: [Boost-users] [asio] What happens when a deadline_timer is deleted

If I have a deadline_timer in my class and my class is deleted, the compleetion function will be called (with error code). But as the destructor have already been run I guess that the 'this' pointer will be invalid!

Correct.

Is this safe?

No.

What if my compleetion function is virtual?

It doesn't matter.

timer.async_wait(boost::bind(&MyClass::OnTimer, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error));

The safest way to handle it is to use shared_ptr and enable_shared_from_this. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
