Inherited from socket_base.
Socket option to allow the socket to be bound to an address that is already in use.
typedef implementation_defined reuse_address;
Implements the SOL_SOCKET/SO_REUSEADDR socket option.
Setting the option:
boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service); ... boost::asio::socket_base::reuse_address option(true); acceptor.set_option(option);
Getting the current option value:
boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service); ... boost::asio::socket_base::reuse_address option; acceptor.get_option(option); bool is_set = option.value();
