The shared_ptr wrapping the socket is a workaround for Windows not behaving as MSDN says it should with respect to operation cancellation. I'd be *very* happy to find another efficient way to correctly indicate operation cancellation without requiring the allocation. May be you can use intrusive_ptr and Windows's own reference counter for handles (DuplicateHandle/CloseHandle)? This way you won't need to allocate counter for shared_ptr.
