Socket acceptor service requirements

A socket acceptor service must meet the requirements for an I/O object service, as well as the additional requirements listed below.

In the table below, X denotes a socket acceptor service class for protocol Protocol, a denotes a value of type X, b denotes a value of type X::implementation_type, p denotes a value of type Protocol, n denotes a value of type X::native_type, e denotes a value of type Protocol::endpoint, ec denotes a value of type error_code, s denotes a value meeting SettableSocketOption requirements, g denotes a value meeting GettableSocketOption requirements, i denotes a value meeting IoControlCommand requirements, k denotes a value of type basic_socket<Protocol, SocketService> where SocketService is a type meeting socket service requirements, ah denotes a value meeting AcceptHandler requirements, and u and v denote identifiers.

X::native_type

The implementation-defined native representation of a socket acceptor. Must satisfy the requirements of CopyConstructible types (C++ Std, 20.1.3), and the requirements of Assignable types (C++ Std, 23.1).

a.construct(b);

From IoObjectService requirements.
post: !a.is_open(b).

a.destroy(b);

From IoObjectService requirements. Implicitly cancels asynchronous operations, as if by calling a.close(b, ec).

a.open(b, p, ec);

error_code

pre: !a.is_open(b).
post: !!ec || a.is_open(b).

a.assign(b, p, n, ec);

error_code

pre: !a.is_open(b).
post: !!ec || a.is_open(b).

a.is_open(b);

bool

const X& u = a;
const X::implementation_type& v = b;
u.is_open(v);

bool

a.close(b, ec);

error_code

If a.is_open() is true, causes any outstanding asynchronous operations to complete as soon as possible. Handlers for cancelled operations shall be passed the error code error::operation_aborted.
post: !a.is_open(b).

a.native(b);

X::native_type

a.cancel(b, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).
Causes any outstanding asynchronous operations to complete as soon as possible. Handlers for cancelled operations shall be passed the error code error::operation_aborted.

a.set_option(b, s, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.get_option(b, g, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

const X& u = a;
const X::implementation_type& v = b;
u.get_option(v, g, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.io_control(b, i, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

const typename Protocol::endpoint& u = e;
a.bind(b, u, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.local_endpoint(b, ec);

Protocol::endpoint

pre: a.is_open(b).

const X& u = a;
const X::implementation_type& v = b;
u.local_endpoint(v, ec);

Protocol::endpoint

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.accept(b, k, &e, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b) && !k.is_open().
post: k.is_open()

a.accept(b, k, 0, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b) && !k.is_open().
post: k.is_open()

a.async_accept(b, k, &e, ah);

pre: a.is_open(b) && !k.is_open().
Initiates an asynchronous accept operation that is performed via the io_service object a.io_service() and behaves according to asynchronous operation requirements.

The program must ensure the objects k and e are valid until the handler for the asynchronous operation is invoked.

a.async_accept(b, k, 0, ah);

pre: a.is_open(b) && !k.is_open().
Initiates an asynchronous accept operation that is performed via the io_service object a.io_service() and behaves according to asynchronous operation requirements.

The program must ensure the object k is valid until the handler for the asynchronous operation is invoked.
