We will also intercept an empty // message as an invalid argument, and propagate the corresponding error to the // user. The asynchronous operation requirements are met by delegating // responsibility to the underlying operation. template auto async_write_message(tcp::socket& socket, const char* message, CompletionToken&& token) // The return type of the initiating function is deduced from the combination // of: // // - the CompletionToken type, // - the completion handler signature, and // - the asynchronous operation's initiation function object. // // When the completion token is a simple callback, the return type is always // void. In this example, when the completion token is asio::yield_context // (used for stackful coroutines) the return type would also be void, as // there is no non-error argument to the completion handler. When the // completion token is asio::use_future it would be std::future. When // the completion token is asio::deferred, the return type differs for each // asynchronous operation. // // In C++14 we can omit the return type as it is automatically deduced from // the return type of asio::async_initiate. { // In addition to determining the mechanism by which an asynchronous // operation delivers its result, a completion token also determines the time // when the operation commences. For example, when the completion token is a // simple callback the operation commences before the initiating function // returns. However, if the completion token's delivery mechanism uses a // future, we might instead want to defer initiation of the operation until // the returned future object is waited upon. // // To enable this, when implementing an asynchronous operation we must // package the initiation step as a function object. The initiation function // object's call operator is passed the concrete completion handler produced // by the completion token. This completion handler matches the asynchronous // operation's completion handler signature, which in this example is: // // void(std::error_code error) // // The initiation function object also receives any additional arguments // required to start the operation. (Note: We could have instead passed these // arguments in the lambda capture set. However, we should prefer to // propagate them as function call arguments as this allows the completion // token to optimise how they are passed. For example, a lazy future which // defers initiation would need to make a decay-copy of the arguments, but // when using a simple callback the arguments can be trivially forwarded // straight through.) auto initiation = [](auto&& completion_handler, tcp::socket& socket, const char* message) { // The post operation has a completion handler signature of: // // void() // // and the async_write operation has a completion handler signature of: // // void(std::error_code error, std::size n) // // Both of these operations' completion handler signatures differ from our // operation's completion handler signature. We will adapt our completion // handler to these signatures by using std::bind, which drops the // additional arguments. // // However, it is essential to the correctness of our composed operation // that we preserve the executor of the user-supplied completion handler. // The std::bind function will not do this for us, so we must do this by // first obtaining the completion handler's associated executor (defaulting // to the I/O executor - in this case the executor of the socket - if the // completion handler does not have its own) ... auto executor = asio::get_associated_executor( completion_handler, socket.get_executor()); // ... and then binding this executor to our adapted completion handler // using the asio::bind_executor function. std::size_t length = std::strlen(message); if (length == 0) { asio::post( asio::bind_executor(executor, std::bind(std::forward( completion_handler), asio::error::invalid_argument))); } else { asio::async_write(socket, asio::buffer(message, length), asio::bind_executor(executor, std::bind(std::forward( completion_handler), std::placeholders::_1))); } }; // The asio::async_initiate function takes: // // - our initiation function object, // - the completion token, // - the completion handler signature, and // - any additional arguments we need to initiate the operation. // // It then asks the completion token to create a completion handler (i.e. a // callback) with the specified signature, and invoke the initiation function // object with this completion handler as well as the additional arguments. // The return value of async_initiate is the result of our operation's // initiating function. // // Note that we wrap non-const reference arguments in std::reference_wrapper // to prevent incorrect decay-copies of these objects. return asio::async_initiate< CompletionToken, void(std::error_code)>( initiation, token, std::ref(socket), message); } //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ void test_callback() { asio::io_context io_context; tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_context, {tcp::v4(), 55555}); tcp::socket socket = acceptor.accept(); // Test our asynchronous operation using a lambda as a callback. async_write_message(socket, "", [](const std::error_code& error) { if (!error) { std::cout << "Message sent\n"; } else { std::cout << "Error: " << error.message() << "\n"; } }); io_context.run(); } //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ void test_deferred() { asio::io_context io_context; tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_context, {tcp::v4(), 55555}); tcp::socket socket = acceptor.accept(); // Test our asynchronous operation using the deferred completion token.
