Setting limit on post queue size with Boost Asio?

Question

I\'m using boost::asio::io_service as a basic thread pool. Some threads get added to io_service, the main thread starts posting handlers, the worker threads start r

Answer 1

you could use the strand object to put the events and put a delay in your main ? Is your program dropping out after all the work is posted? If so you can use the work object which will give you more control over when your io_service stops.

you could always main check the state of the threads and have it wait untill one becomes free or something like that.

//example from the second link
boost::asio::io_service io_service;
boost::asio::io_service::work work(io_service);

hope this helps.
