This is an older version of Boost and was released in 2021. The current version is 1.89.0.
(Deprecated: Use range overload.) Establishes a socket connection by trying each endpoint in a sequence.
template<
typename Protocol,
typename Executor,
typename Iterator>
Iterator connect(
basic_socket< Protocol, Executor > & s,
Iterator begin,
boost::system::error_code & ec,
typename constraint<!is_endpoint_sequence< Iterator >::value >::type = 0);
This function attempts to connect a socket to one of a sequence of endpoints.
It does this by repeated calls to the socket's connect member
function, once for each endpoint in the sequence, until a connection is
successfully established.
The socket to be connected. If the socket is already open, it will be closed.
An iterator pointing to the start of a sequence of endpoints.
Set to indicate what error occurred, if any. If the sequence is empty,
set to boost::asio::error::not_found. Otherwise, contains
the error from the last connection attempt.
On success, an iterator denoting the successfully connected endpoint. Otherwise, the end iterator.
This overload assumes that a default constructed object of type Iterator
represents the end of the sequence. This is a valid assumption for iterator
types such as boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator.
