Hello, jason,
  from asio doc:
async_read will invoke handler one condition is true:
1. the supplied buffers are full.
2. an error occurred.

so if there is no socket error, async_read will return len1 bytes.


My question is, can we make simultaneous async_read calls on one socket,
will they interfere each other?

Thanks!

Hello, all,

If i write some code like this:
boost::asio::async_read(socket_, bosot::asio::buffer(buffer1_.data(), len1, handler1);
boost::asio::async_read(socket_, boost::asio::buffer(buffer2_.data(), len2, handler2);

Will asio guarantee len1 bytes received by the first async_read, then schedule async_read2?

or the result is undefined(like several bytes filled into buffer1, then next several bytes into buffer, then next several bytes into buffer1)?

I don't believe you're guaranteed that you will get `len1` bytes from the first read; it could be shorter. If you want to ensure that you get exactly that size in the first read, you should use the `transfer_exactly` completion condition:
