    t.join();

    std::cerr << "Exception: " << e.what() << "\n";

  return 0;
}

现在我不明白为什么他们让write函数在io_service发帖?所以它是线程安全的,no1会同时使用套接字吗?这确实不会发生2X async_write吗?并且不会async_writeasync_read一起使用? 我是否必须确保asynch_writeasync_read不会同时发生?或者同时做它们是否安全? 顺便说一下,如果我想让代码运行得更快,我知道我可以让2个(或更多)线程做io_service::run()所以在这种情况下我是否必须使用互斥锁来确保我上面写的东西不会发生? / p>

答案 0 :(得分:1)

io_service::post用于chat_client::write公共方法,因为async_writecomposed operation,应用程序需要确保在流完成之前不会对流执行任何其他操作。

  

此操作以术语实施   对流的零次或多次调用   async_write_some函数,是   称为组合操作。该   程序必须确保流   不执行任何其他写操作   (例如async_write,流的   async_write_some函数,或任何   执行的其他组合操作   写道)直到这个操作   完成。

实际工作在chat_client::do_write完成,其中使用了传出消息队列。

修改

在聊天客户端示例中,只有一个线程调用io_service::run,因此处理程序中没有线程安全问题。如果你有多个线程调用io_service::run,你应该像我在your previous question中所描述的那样调查线索而不是互斥量。
