Re: [boost] Asynchronous Boost.Iostreams with Boost.Asio

I ask as I was trying to extend Boost.Asio and add support for C++ standard streams on the weekend. I came to the conclusion that this is impossible (as calls to C++ standard streams block and there is no way to interrupt a blocking call, at least not in a portable way).

The only way to simulate asynchronous I/O using blocking calls is to use a separate thread for every I/O object. Sebastian Redl
