Hi folks! I wonder how Boost.Asio is related to Steinberg ASIO? It seems that ASIO is an older technology and it's name is a registered trademark. http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/steinberg_technology.html It's a source for confusion. For the first time I've noticed the Boost.Asio library, I was thinking it's an STL-compliant facade for Steinberg ASIO :-) Alexander Churanov
Hi, I wonder how Boost.Asio is related to Steinberg ASIO?
It seems that ASIO is an older technology and it's name is a registered trademark. <http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost>
As far as I can tell, they are not related, and in my layman opinion there would be no trademark infringement. Boost.Asio is about network I/O whereas Steinberg ASIO is about digital audio. Regards, Eugene Wee
Boost Asynchronous I/O is not Steinberg's Audio Stream I/O which is the music mixing program's data backbone that also allows third-parties to write plug-ins for the mixer. -Sid Wikipedia says: Asio or ASIO may refer to: Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Asio, a genus of owls asio C++ library, a programming library for asynchronous I/O Audio Stream Input/Output, a protocol for low-latency digital audio -----Original Message----- From: boost-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Alexander Churanov Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 10:57 AM To: boost@lists.boost.org Subject: [boost] Boost.Asio and Steinberg ASIO Hi folks!
