...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

Coding Standards
A legacy completion handler must meet the requirements for a handler.
A legacy completion handler must meet the requirements of CopyConstructible
types (C++Std [copyconstructible]). A value h
of a completion
handler class should work correctly in the expression h()
.
A free function as a completion handler:
void completion_handler() { ... }
A completion handler function object:
struct completion_handler { ... void operator()() { ... } ... };
A lambda as a completion handler:
my_io_service.post( []() { ... });
A non-static class member function adapted to a completion handler using
std::bind()
:
void my_class::completion_handler() { ... } ... my_io_service.post(std::bind(&my_class::completion_handler, this));
A non-static class member function adapted to a completion handler using
boost::bind()
:
void my_class::completion_handler() { ... } ... my_io_service.post(boost::bind(&my_class::completion_handler, this));
