问题
In this question I described boost::asio and boost::coroutine usage pattern which causes random crashes of my application and I published extract from my code and valgrind and GDB output.
In order to investigate the problem further I created smaller proof of concept application which applies the same pattern. I saw that the same problem arises in the smaller program which source I publish here.
The code starts a few threads and creates a connection pool with a few dummy connections (user supplied numbers). Additional arguments are unsigned integer numbers which plays the role of fake requests. The dummy implementation of sendRequest function just starts asynchronous timer for waiting number of seconds equal to the input number and yileds from the function.
Can someone see the problem with this code and can he propose some fix for it?

For completeness of the code the last missing part is ConcurrentQueue class. It is too long to paste it here, but if you want you can find it here.
Example usage of the application is:
./connectionpooltest 3 3 5 7 8 1 0 9 2 4 3 6
where the first number 3 are fake connections count and the second number 3 are the number of used threads. Numbers after them are fake requests.
The output of valgrind and GDB is the same as in the mentioned above question.
Used version of boost is 1.57. The compiler is GCC 4.8.3. The operating system is CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503
回答1:
It seems that all valgrind errors are caused because of BOOST_USE_VALGRIND macro is not defined as Tanner Sansbury points in comment related to this question. It seems that except this the program is correct.
