I'm against introduzing exceptions. But I agree it may be possible to work a little more in the error handling. But, IMO, it should be like adding helper classes for this, but not throwing exceptions.
I think too that the current asio error handling interface is fine, and it is not worth changing it a this time.
Has anybody got a "non-ignorable return" class that they could add to boost? (A class that encapsulates a return value whose destructor asserts/aborts if the return code has not been examined or deliberatedly ignored by the calling code.) It would be a natural for this sort of application, and would be a generally useful utility class. -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 441434
