- You must run() the io_system object for it to perform asynchronous operations on your behalf.
Just to be precise, if asynchronous i/o is real (not emulated) you don't have to do anything for the operation to be performed, and run() will just demultiplex completion events. This BTW brings up a question of possible portability issues resulting from such a difference in behavior. I also think that 'run' is not descriptive enough, especially if the class name becomes 'io_system'. Something like dispatch_events() may be?
