Re: [boost] boost::asio::deadline_timer and boost::asio::io_service

Hi, Does io_service create threads for running timers? My application is running a single thread, but if io_service creates multiple threads for running timer, I must use the mutex or atomic lock. Thank you. Kind regards, - jupiter On 9/1/19, JH wrote:

Hi,

I use a single thread to run 3 classes using boost::asio::deadline_timer, the timers are managed by boost::asio::io_service. I deliberately use a single thread to avoid mutex, I believe those 3 timers are called exclusively by boost::asio::io_service in a single thread, there won't be race condition to share the objects among them, is it correct?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
