A very good one (ASIO) is in the review queue, so sit tight! I like the approach these guys are taking: http://www.dtilib.dk/
that actually would be 3 libraries, but I like them all.
This project includes a C++ socket library, a library for doing async I/O operations with IOStreams and another for database access. The designs appear to be clean and simple. The socket library doesn't seem to support non-blocking sockets or any sort of I/O multiplexing on its own, so it is not nearly as complete as ASIO. As far as sockets are concerned, layering on asynchronous operations at the IOStreams level is a mistake IMHO. These concepts need to be supported at the lowest levels of the library because some applications require them. Looking forward to the ASIO review, -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
