Class to inform the io_service
when it has work to do.
class work
Name |
Description |
---|---|
Get the io_service associated with the work. |
|
Constructor notifies the io_service that work is starting. Copy constructor notifies the io_service that work is starting. |
|
Destructor notifies the io_service that the work is complete. |
The work class is used to inform the io_service
when work starts and
finishes. This ensures that the io_service
object's run()
function
will not exit while work is underway, and that it does exit when there is
no unfinished work remaining.
The work class is copy-constructible so that it may be used as a data member in a handler class. It is not assignable.
