basic_datagram_socket::basic_datagram_socket (6 of 10 overloads)

Construct a basic_datagram_socket, opening it and binding it to the given local endpoint.

template<
    typename ExecutionContext>
basic_datagram_socket(
    ExecutionContext & context,
    const endpoint_type & endpoint,
    typename constraint< is_convertible< ExecutionContext &, execution_context & >::value >::type  = 0);

This constructor creates a datagram socket and automatically opens it bound to the specified endpoint on the local machine. The protocol used is the protocol associated with the given endpoint.

Parameters

context: An execution context which provides the I/O executor that the socket will use, by default, to dispatch handlers for any asynchronous operations performed on the socket.
endpoint: An endpoint on the local machine to which the datagram socket will be bound.

Exceptions

boost::system::system_error: Thrown on failure.
