Hi, I'm currently trying to port an app from libevent to asio to test out the library. I have a quick question. Why doesn't the basic_stream_socket::async_connect handler pass a pointer to the socket? Is it assumed that the handler is a stateful functor and keeps a pointer to the socket? I wanted to do the following void connect_handler(const boost::asio::error& error) { // // if (!error) { // Connect succeeded. // How do I get the connected socket here? // I want to call async_read_some like: // s->async_read_some(...); } } int main() { boost::asio::demuxer demuxer; boost::asio::stream_socket* socket = new boost::asio::stream_socket(demuxer); boost::asio::ipv4::address addr("127.0.0.1"); socket->async_connect(boost::asio::ipv4::tcp::endpoint(80, addr), connect_handler); demuxer.run(); }
