Isn't it already there?
Asio has support for POSIX file descriptors and Windows HANDLEs.
Posix stream_descriptor is not usable for asynchronous i/o since by definition it does not allow seeking. But windows support is really good, its a huge part of my application
So... Asio AIO for *nix filesystems doesn't make a good project?
It does and it doesnt. It does because what i originally meant is that asio *currently* only provides stream-oriented file access. The o/s itself, however is a different story. It doesnt because theres already a project in the works to do exactly this, its just been kind of quiet and probably wont be announced for a while
