The main argument against it was difficulties with composed operations. I propose a compromise: some form of ""poll"" with timeout (poll_read/poll_write or something like that). I mean synchronous version of async_read_some(null_buffers()). If it will be implemented, it will be easy to write sync read with timeout, using combination of poll_read/read_some. I'm sure this ""portable poll"" will be very useful.",Feature Requests,new,To Be Determined,asio,Boost 1.48.0,Problem,,,
