Boost.Asio C++ Network Programming
- Share to:
Boost.Asio is a complex library, making networking quite simple. Building it is easy. It's done quite a good job at avoiding use of macros; it's got a few macros to turn options on/off, but there's only quite a few you need to worry about. Boost.Asio allows for both synchronous and asynchronous programming. They are very different; you should choose one way or the other as early as possible, since switching is quite complicated and prone to error. If you go synchronous, you can choose between exceptions and error codes, going from exceptions to error codes is simple; just add one more argument to the function call (the error code). Boost.Asio is not just for networking. It's got a few more features, making it even more valuable, such as signals, timers, and so on. In the next chapter, we'll delve into the multitude of functions and classes Boost.Asio provides for networking. Also, we'll learn a few tricks about asynchronous programming.
