13477	Initializing boost::asio socket after constructor failed	nguyen.tnhoang@…	chris_kohlhoff	"I create a class to broadcast UDP messages as in the attached socket.cpp file.  It works fine. 
Then, I wish to initialize the socket after the class constructor is initialized (to allow user input). So, I change from using socket to a socket pointer as in the socketPtr.cpp.  

It is a solution suggested by this post (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31371214/initializing-boostasio-sockets-after-constructor).

The replacements are as follows, where io_service is wrapped as boost::ref(io_service):

//boost::asio::ip::udp::socket socket;
boost::shared_ptr<udp::socket> socketPtr;

//boost::asio::ip::udp::socket socket(io_service, endpoint.protocol());
//socket.set_option(boost::asio::ip::udp::socket::reuse_address(true));
socketPtr = boost::make_shared<udp::socket>(boost::ref(io_service), endpoint.protocol());
socketPtr->set_option(boost::asio::ip::udp::socket::reuse_address(true));

//socket.async_send_to(boost::asio::buffer(message), endpoint, [this](boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t /*length*/)
socketPtr->async_send_to(boost::asio::buffer(message), endpoint, [this](boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t /*length*/)

Just one thing with the modification: it doesn't work. I keep poring over the code, and could not find the reason why it shouldn't work. Could someone please help?"	Bugs	new	To Be Determined	asio	Boost 1.66.0	Showstopper		c++ asio boost shared_ptr boost::ref
