Right now I am stuck - I need a demultiplexor library that works on at least windows and linux BADLY. I will have to make a start with this because there is not really anything else I can do (except when say, I'd quit working on my current project and continue with my ECC project that has been put in the freezer a while ago).
May I suggest that you check out asio, a library I have developed for network programming using a "modern" C++ style. I have been thinking about similar ideas to the ones you raised in this thread for quite a while now, and as I had a similar need to you, I developed asio. I believe it addresses the issues you raise, or at least provides a basis for doing so. The asio library currently supports both windows and linux, is free for any use, and is also going into production in a commercial system in about a month. You can get asio from: http://tenermerx.com/programming/cpp/asio/asio-0.1.12.tar.gz I have also put the generated documentation online at: http://tenermerx.com/programming/cpp/asio/asio-0.1.12/doc/html/ Feel free to ask if you have any questions. There's too much to say about all the different stuff in asio to fit in this email :) Regards, Chris
