[C++][Boost] Acceptor and Problems with Async_Accept
- by bobber205
See code. :P
I am able to receive new connections before async_accept() has been called. My delegate function is also never called so I can't manage any connections I receive, rendering the new connections useless. ;)
So here's my question. Is there a way to prevent the Boost ASIO acceptor from getting new connections on its own and only getting connections from async_accept()?
Thanks!
bool AlexSocket::StartListening(int port)
{
bool didStart = false;
if (!this->listening)
{
//try to listen
acceptor = new tcp::acceptor(this->myService);
boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), port);
acceptor->open(endpoint.protocol());
acceptor->set_option(boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true));
acceptor->bind(endpoint);
//CAN GET NEW CONNECTIONS HERE (before async_accept is called)
acceptor->listen();
didStart = true; //probably change?
tcp::socket* tempNewSocket = new tcp::socket(this->myService);
acceptor->async_accept(*tempNewSocket, boost::bind(&AlexSocket::NewConnection, this, tempNewSocket, boost::asio::placeholders::error) );
}
else //already started!
return false;
this->listening = didStart;
return didStart;
}
//this function is never called :(
void AlexSocket::NewConnection(tcp::socket* s, const boost::system::error_code& error)
{
cout << "New Connection Made" << endl;
//Start new accept async
tcp::socket* tempNewSocket = new tcp::socket(this->myService);
acceptor->async_accept(*tempNewSocket, boost::bind(&AlexSocket::NewConnection, this, tempNewSocket, boost::asio::placeholders::error) );
}
