asio::io_service::work Class Reference

List of all members.

Detailed Description

Class to inform the io_service when it has work to do.

The work class is used to inform the io_service when work starts and finishes. This ensures that the io_service's run() function will not exit while work is underway, and that it does exit when there is no unfinished work remaining.

The work class is copy-constructible so that it may be used as a data member in a handler class. It is not assignable.
