Dear Zachary, thank you VERY MUCH. You can't imagine how much time I spent looking for an answer as simple as the one of yours! Finally my code works:) All the best, Daniel. < ------------ Původní zpráva ------------ < Od: Zachary Turner < Předmět: Re: [Boost-users] Synchronous problem with asio < Datum: 11.8.2009 14:36:40 < ---------------------------------------- < 2009/8/11 Dan Benčík : < > Dear everybody, < > I have a problem using asio. My client/server application requires only < synchronous communication. So, using the examples for synchro from the boost < homepage, I have set up two procedures to send and receive data. Their code is < as follows: < > < > void vReceive(tcp::socket & socket, std::string & szDest){ < >    char szTmp_Buf [BUF_LEN + 1]; < >    szDest = ""; < >    std::cout << "Entering vReceive . . ." << std::endl; < > < >    for (;;){ < >      char szBuf [BUF_LEN]; < >      boost::system::error_code error; < >      uInt uiBytes_Recv = socket.read_some(boost::asio::buffer(szBuf), error); < >      std::cout << " Read " << uiBytes_Recv << " bytes" << std::endl; < >      if (error == boost::asio::error::eof) < >         break; // Connection closed cleanly by peer. < >      else if (error) < >         throw boost::system::system_error(error); // Some other error. < > < >      memcpy((void*) szTmp_Buf, (void*) szBuf, uiBytes_Recv ); < >      szTmp_Buf[ uiBytes_Recv ] = '\0'; < >      szDest += szTmp_Buf; < >      }; < >   std::cout << "Received" << szDest << std::endl; < >   std::cout << "Leaving vReceive . . ." << std::endl << std::endl; < >   }; < > < > void vSend(tcp::socket & socket, std::string & szSrc){ < >    std::cout << "Entering vSend . . . " << std::endl; < >    std::cout << "Sending " << szSrc << std::endl; < >    boost::system::error_code ignored_error; < >    boost::asio::write(socket, boost::asio::buffer(szSrc), < boost::asio::transfer_all(), ignored_error); < >    std::cout << "Leaving vSend . . . " << std::endl << std::endl; < >    }; < > < > < > These procedures are just wrappers for the lines of code extracted from the < boost examples. < > < > < > In my test applications, the client calls < > < > vReceive(socket, szDate); < > vSend(socket, std::string("Chop Suey!") ); < > vReceive(socket, szDate); < > vSend(socket, std::string("Halo")); < > < > and the server calls < > < > vSend(socket, message); < > vReceive(socket, szReceived); < > vSend(socket, message); < > vReceive(socket, szReceived); < > < > just to test the functionality. The problem is that both applications freeze < after the first information exchange, as I have depicted on the following < picture ( http://eubie.sweb.cz/asio_problem.JPG ). It seems that vReceive() < procedure on the client side doesn´t finish while vSend() finishes on the server < side.
