 A library user may need to perform initialisation in a thread shortly after the thread

starts and before any other application code is executed. For example, users of

Microsoft's COM must call CoInitializeEx before any other COM operations can be

called from that thread.

 The library interface is decoupled from interfaces for thread creation and

management, and permits implementations on platforms where threads are not

available.

Strands: Use Threads Without Explicit Locking

A strand is defined as a strictly sequential invocation of event handlers (i.e. no concurrent

invocation). Use of strands allows execution of code in a multithreaded program without the

need for explicit locking (e.g. using mutexes).

Strands may be either implicit or explicit, as illustrated by the following alternative

approaches:

 Calling io_context::run() from only one thread means all event handlers execute in an

implicit strand, due to the io_context's guarantee that handlers are only invoked from

inside run().

 Where there is a single chain of asynchronous operations associated with a

connection (e.g. in a half duplex protocol implementation like HTTP) there is no

possibility of concurrent execution of the handlers. This is an implicit strand.

 An explicit strand is an instance of strand<> or io_context::strand. All event

handler function objects need to be bound to the strand

using boost::asio::bind_executor() or otherwise posted/dispatched through

the strand object.

In the case of composed asynchronous operations, such

as async_read() or async_read_until(), if a completion handler goes through a

strand, then all intermediate handlers should also go through the same strand. This is needed

to ensure thread safe access for any objects that are shared between the caller and the

composed operation (in the case of async_read() it's the socket, which the caller

can close() to cancel the operation).

To achieve this, all asynchronous operations obtain the handler's associated executor by

using the get_associated_executor function. For example:

boost::asio::associated_executor_t<Handler> a =

boost::asio::get_associated_executor(h);

my_socket.async_read_some(my_buffer,

boost::asio::bind_executor(my_strand,

[](error_code ec, size_t length)

{

// ...

}));

Buffers

Fundamentally, I/O involves the transfer of data to and from contiguous regions of memory,

called buffers. These buffers can be simply expressed as a tuple consisting of a pointer and a

size in bytes. However, to allow the development of efficient network applications, Boost.Asio

includes support for scatter-gather operations. These operations involve one or more buffers:

 A scatter-read receives data into multiple buffers.

 A gather-write transmits multiple buffers.

Therefore we require an abstraction to represent a collection of buffers. The approach used in

Boost.Asio is to define a type (actually two types) to represent a single buffer. These can be

stored in a container, which may be passed to the scatter-gather operations.

In addition to specifying buffers as a pointer and size in bytes, Boost.Asio makes a distinction

between modifiable memory (called mutable) and non-modifiable memory (where the latter is

created from the storage for a const-qualified variable). These two types could therefore be

defined as follows:

typedef std::pair<void*, std::size_t> mutable_buffer;

typedef std::pair<const void*, std::size_t> const_buffer;

Here, a mutable_buffer would be convertible to a const_buffer, but conversion in the opposite

direction is not valid.

However, Boost.Asio does not use the above definitions as-is, but instead defines two

classes: mutable_buffer and const_buffer. The goal of these is to provide an opaque

representation of contiguous memory, where:

 Types behave as std::pair would in conversions. That is, a mutable_buffer is

convertible to a const_buffer, but the opposite conversion is disallowed.

 There is protection against buffer overruns. Given a buffer instance, a user can only

create another buffer representing the same range of memory or a sub-range of it. To

provide further safety, the library also includes mechanisms for automatically

determining the size of a buffer from an array, boost::arrayor std::vector of POD

elements, or from a std::string.
