The asynchronous operation // requirements are met by delegating responsibility to the underlying // operation. template auto async_write_message(tcp::socket& socket, const char* message, CompletionToken&& token) // The return type of the initiating function is deduced from the combination // of CompletionToken type and the completion handler's signature. When the // completion token is a simple callback, the return type is always void. // In this example, when the completion token is boost::asio::yield_context // (used for stackful coroutines) the return type would be also be void, as // there is no non-error argument to the completion handler. When the // completion token is boost::asio::use_future it would be std::future. // // In C++14 we can omit the return type as it is automatically deduced from // the return type of boost::asio::async_initiate. { // In addition to determining the mechanism by which an asynchronous // operation delivers its result, a completion token also determines the time // when the operation commences. For example, when the completion token is a // simple callback the operation commences before the initiating function // returns. However, if the completion token's delivery mechanism uses a // future, we might instead want to defer initiation of the operation until // the returned future object is waited upon. // // To enable this, when implementing an asynchronous operation we must // package the initiation step as a function object. The initiation function // object's call operator is passed the concrete completion handler produced // by the completion token. This completion handler matches the asynchronous // operation's completion handler signature, which in this example is: // // void(boost::system::error_code error) // // The initiation function object also receives any additional arguments // required to start the operation. (Note: We could have instead passed these // arguments in the lambda capture set. However, we should prefer to // propagate them as function call arguments as this allows the completion // token to optimise how they are passed. For example, a lazy future which // defers initiation would need to make a decay-copy of the arguments, but // when using a simple callback the arguments can be trivially forwarded // straight through.) auto initiation = [](auto&& completion_handler, tcp::socket& socket, const char* message) { // The async_write operation has a completion handler signature of: // // void(boost::system::error_code error, std::size n) // // This differs from our operation's signature in that it is also passed // the number of bytes transferred as an argument of type std::size_t. We // will adapt our completion handler to async_write's completion handler // signature by using std::bind, which drops the additional argument. // // However, it is essential to the correctness of our composed operation // that we preserve the executor of the user-supplied completion handler. // The std::bind function will not do this for us, so we must do this by // first obtaining the completion handler's associated executor (defaulting // to the I/O executor - in this case the executor of the socket - if the // completion handler does not have its own) ... auto executor = boost::asio::get_associated_executor( completion_handler, socket.get_executor()); // ... and then binding this executor to our adapted completion handler // using the boost::asio::bind_executor function. boost::asio::async_write(socket, boost::asio::buffer(message, std::strlen(message)), boost::asio::bind_executor(executor, std::bind(std::forward( completion_handler), std::placeholders::_1))); }; // The boost::asio::async_initiate function takes: // // - our initiation function object, // - the completion token, // - the completion handler signature, and // - any additional arguments we need to initiate the operation. // // It then asks the completion token to create a completion handler (i.e. a // callback) with the specified signature, and invoke the initiation function // object with this completion handler as well as the additional arguments. // The return value of async_initiate is the result of our operation's // initiating function. // // Note that we wrap non-const reference arguments in std::reference_wrapper // to prevent incorrect decay-copies of these objects. return boost::asio::async_initiate< CompletionToken, void(boost::system::error_code)>( initiation, token, std::ref(socket), message); } //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ void test_callback() { boost::asio::io_context io_context; tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_context, {tcp::v4(), 55555}); tcp::socket socket = acceptor.accept(); // Test our asynchronous operation using a lambda as a callback. async_write_message(socket, "Testing callback\r\n", [](const boost::system::error_code& error) { if (!error) { std::cout << "Message sent\n"; } else { std::cout << "Error: " << error.message() << "\n"; } }); io_context.run(); } //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ void test_future() { boost::asio::io_context io_context; tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_context, {tcp::v4(), 55555}); tcp::socket socket = acceptor.accept(); // Test our asynchronous operation using the use_future completion token. // This token causes the operation's initiating function to return a future, // which may be used to synchronously wait for the result of the operation. std::future f = async_write_message( socket, "Testing future\r\n", boost::asio::use_future); io_context.run(); // Get the result of the operation. try { // Get the result of the operation. f.get(); std::cout << "Message sent\n"; } catch (const std::exception& e) { std::cout << "Error: " << e.what() << "\n"; } } //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ int main() { test_callback(); test_future(); }
