Non-blocking i/o using ASIO socket
Hello all, Can you please advise where we need to use "non_blocking_io" flag in ASIO sockets. IIUC, we can do the same using all of the async_xxxx functions provided in the various socket classes. Does it mean that if we do not wish to use ioservice::post() mechanism, we have the option to use "non_blocking_io" flag and implement async functionality? Thanks, Vikas

If you use async_* functions, then your code by default is non-blocking. You can see examples of using several strategies at http://alexott.blogspot.com/2007/10/what-is-boostasio-and-why-we-should-use.... (links to examples are in comments, as my main site currently not available)
