Code to address requirement 7(a) of IOStreams Roadmap
Colleagues, I posted this before, but didn't get answers to some questions so far. I think I addressed the "output" part of requirement 7(a) from the IOStreams Roadmap: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/IostreamsRoadmap in this library: https://code.google.com/p/async-ostream/ Does anyone mind if I create a patch for Boost.IOStreams to add those five files and ask the maintainer (or volunteers) for feedback? Regards, Gene

How does it differ from the iostreams in Boost.Asio?
Good question, Bjorn. Three main differences from iostreams from Asio: - formatting happens on the background thread which saves most of the latency (for formatted output), - it will never make a kernel call on the calling thread except some extreme contention (which saves latency again), - streams don't have to be associated with sockets.

But most importantly, formatting doesn't happen on the calling thread -- it happens on the background instead. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Code-to-address-requirement-7-a-of-IOStre... Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Thank you for the explanation. Is there any way to use a Boost.Asio thread as the background thread? In other words, is it possible to write a async_ostream::service implementation that wraps a Boost.Asio io_service? My initial impression is that it is possible, but I am not sufficiently familiar with your codebase to be certain. On another note, you may consider using Boost.Chrono for time durations.
Bjorn, that's a good idea. I'll look into this now. I'm sure it's possible to use that thread in some way, but I want to make sure it's possible to do it efficiently. On Oct 8, 2013 5:27 AM, "Bjorn Reese [via Boost]" < ml-node+s2283326n4652634h7@n4.nabble.com> wrote:

Bjorn, it worked. Thank you! https://code.google.com/p/async-ostream/ I implemented it so that is runs on the Asio background thread efficiently -- I don't see any loss of speed in the numbers. Again, thanks for your feedback! Colleagues: does it now satisfy the requirements of 7(a) in IOStreams Roadmap https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/IostreamsRoadmap ?

Colleagues: does it now satisfy the requirements of 7(a) in IOStreams Roadmap https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/IostreamsRoadmap ?
As far as I know, no one is working on that roadmap now.

Excellent. I would definitely like to see this become part of Boost.Iostreams.

The author of Boost.Iostreams has become inactive, which is why your previous inquiries have not been answered. Minor patches can be handled by others, but the async-ostream are probably so large that it requires that a new maintainer takes over Boost.Iostreams.
Daniel and Bjorn, thank you for the feedback! Do you think you can try me as a maintainer in this case? And if you don't like me, I'll try to find someone else. On Oct 15, 2013 11:30 AM, "Bjorn Reese [via Boost]" < ml-node+s2283326n4653081h64@n4.nabble.com> wrote:

Daniel and Bjorn, thank you for the feedback! Do you think you can try me as a maintainer in this case? And if you don't like me, I'll try to find someone else.
It would be good to have an iostreams maintainer. Although you might need to have an informal review before any significant changes. It's also a bit of an awkward time to start as it looks like we're about to transition to git. Maybe try posting a new thread (with a subject like '[iostreams] new maintainer') to get feedback from other users? There might be people interested in iostreams who aren't reading this.
Hi, Sorry for the month-long delay. I'm taking a look at Gene's code tonight. On Thursday, October 17, 2013 6:12:04 AM UTC-6, Bjorn Reese wrote:

Jonathan, in the trunk you will also see asynchronous input taken care of (not just output). That's not yet documented online though. On Nov 25, 2013 3:13 AM, "Jonathan Turkanis-2 [via Boost]" < ml-node+s2283326n4655346h79@n4.nabble.com> wrote:
