Please subscribe to the "boost" maililng list hosted on
yahoogroups.com, and post your suggestion there.  Before
doing so, however, I'd advise checking the message archive
for the previous discussion on the topic.  A boost socket
wrapper should be designed so that misuse is very hard or
impossible.

You got my vote.  I learned to program in Java.  But really
like C++.  For the most part, I would rather use C++ anyday
but...
Coming from Java, I must say that C++ sorely needs a Sockets
API.  And while threading in Java has lot of downpoints, it
is painless to whip up a threaded app.  I can't say the same
for C++.
The CommonC++ API is pretty good but no where near Java's
API, for abstraction, and ease of use.  CommonC++ is a
little flaky, although a great start.
While the boost libs look good for threading I was shocked
to see nothing on sockets.

description modified (diff)
cc chris@… added
component None → asio
owner changed from nobody to az_sw_dude
severity → Showstopper

Assigning to Jeff because we can't assign it to Chris and associate him with the ASIO component until he logs into Trac.

Why is this feature request not closed? ASIO is a very good wrapper around a socket (and more). Therefore I would close this ticket. If something is missing one or more detailed feature requests should be opened.

I think this can be considered fixed by ASIO.
