/// Provides core I/O functionality.
/**
* The io_service class provides the core I/O functionality for users of the
* asynchronous I/O objects, including:
*
* @li boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket
* @li boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor
* @li boost::asio::ip::udp::socket
* @li boost::asio::deadline_timer.
*
* The io_service class also includes facilities intended for developers of
* custom asynchronous services.
*
* @par Thread Safety
* @e Distinct @e objects: Safe.@n
* @e Shared @e objects: Safe, with the specific exceptions of the reset() and
* notify_fork() functions. Calling reset() while there are unfinished run(),
* run_one(), poll() or poll_one() calls results in undefined behaviour. The
* notify_fork() function should not be called while any io_service function,
* or any function on an I/O object that is associated with the io_service, is
* being called in another thread.
*
* @par Concepts:
* Dispatcher.
*
* @par Synchronous and asynchronous operations
*
* Synchronous operations on I/O objects implicitly run the io_service object
* for an individual operation. The io_service functions run(), run_one(),
* poll() or poll_one() must be called for the io_service to perform
* asynchronous operations on behalf of a C++ program. Notification that an
* asynchronous operation has completed is delivered by invocation of the
* associated handler. Handlers are invoked only by a thread that is currently
* calling any overload of run(), run_one(), poll() or poll_one() for the
* io_service.
*
* @par Effect of exceptions thrown from handlers
*
* If an exception is thrown from a handler, the exception is allowed to
* propagate through the throwing thread's invocation of run(), run_one(),
* poll() or poll_one(). No other threads that are calling any of these
* functions are affected. It is then the responsibility of the application to
* catch the exception.
*
* After the exception has been caught, the run(), run_one(), poll() or
* poll_one() call may be restarted @em without the need for an intervening
* call to reset(). This allows the thread to rejoin the io_service object's
* thread pool without impacting any other threads in the pool.
*
* For example:
*
* @code
* boost::asio::io_service io_service;
* ...
* for (;;)
* {
* try
* {
* io_service.run();
* break; // run() exited normally
* }
* catch (my_exception& e)
* {
* // Deal with exception as appropriate.
* }
* }
* @endcode
*
* @par Stopping the io_service from running out of work
*
* Some applications may need to prevent an io_service object's run() call from
* returning when there is no more work to do. For example, the io_service may
* be being run in a background thread that is launched prior to the
* application's asynchronous operations. The run() call may be kept running by
* creating an object of type boost::asio::io_service::work:
*
* @code boost::asio::io_service io_service;
* boost::asio::io_service::work work(io_service);
* ... @endcode
*
* To effect a shutdown, the application will then need to call the io_service
* object's stop() member function. This will cause the io_service run() call
* to return as soon as possible, abandoning unfinished operations and without
* permitting ready handlers to be dispatched.
*
* Alternatively, if the application requires that all operations and handlers
* be allowed to finish normally, the work object may be explicitly destroyed.
*
* @code boost::asio::io_service io_service;
* auto_ptr<boost::asio::io_service::work> work(
* new boost::asio::io_service::work(io_service));
* ...
* work.reset(); // Allow run() to exit. @endcode
*
* @par The io_service class and I/O services
*
* Class io_service implements an extensible, type-safe, polymorphic set of I/O
* services, indexed by service type. An object of class io_service must be
* initialised before I/O objects such as sockets, resolvers and timers can be
* used. These I/O objects are distinguished by having constructors that accept
* an @c io_service& parameter.
*
* I/O services exist to manage the logical interface to the operating system on
* behalf of the I/O objects. In particular, there are resources that are shared
* across a class of I/O objects. For example, timers may be implemented in
* terms of a single timer queue. The I/O services manage these shared
* resources.
*
* Access to the services of an io_service is via three function templates,
* use_service(), add_service() and has_service().
*
* In a call to @c use_service<Service>(), the type argument chooses a service,
* making available all members of the named type. If @c Service is not present
* in an io_service, an object of type @c Service is created and added to the
* io_service. A C++ program can check if an io_service implements a
* particular service with the function template @c has_service<Service>().
*
* Service objects may be explicitly added to an io_service using the function
* template @c add_service<Service>(). If the @c Service is already present, the
* service_already_exists exception is thrown. If the owner of the service is
* not the same object as the io_service parameter, the invalid_service_owner
* exception is thrown.
*
* Once a service reference is obtained from an io_service object by calling
* use_service(), that reference remains usable as long as the owning io_service
* object exists.
*
* All I/O service implementations have io_service::service as a public base
* class. Custom I/O services may be implemented by deriving from this class and
* then added to an io_service using the facilities described above.

* @note The destruction sequence described above permits programs to
* simplify their resource management by using @c shared_ptr<>. Where an
* object's lifetime is tied to the lifetime of a connection (or some other
* sequence of asynchronous operations), a @c shared_ptr to the object would
* be bound into the handlers for all asynchronous operations associated with
* it. This works as follows:

* @li When a single connection ends, all associated asynchronous operations
* complete. The corresponding handler objects are destroyed, and all
* @c shared_ptr references to the objects are destroyed.
