basic_stream::async_connect (2 of 5 overloads)

Establishes a connection by trying each endpoint in a sequence asynchronously.

Synopsis
template<
    class EndpointSequence,
    class RangeConnectHandler = net::default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>
DEDUCED
async_connect(
    EndpointSequence const& endpoints,
    RangeConnectHandler&& handler = net::default_completion_token_t< executor_type >{});
Description

This function attempts to connect the stream to one of a sequence of endpoints by trying each endpoint until a connection is successfully established. The underlying socket is automatically opened if needed. An automatically opened socket is not returned to the closed state upon failure. The algorithm, known as a composed asynchronous operation, is implemented in terms of calls to the underlying socket's async_connect function. If the timeout timer expires while the operation is outstanding, the current connection attempt will be canceled and the completion handler will be invoked with the error error::timeout.

Parameters

Name

Description

endpoints

A sequence of endpoints. This this object must meet the requirements of EndpointSequence.

handler

The completion handler to invoke when the operation completes. The implementation takes ownership of the handler by performing a decay-copy. The equivalent function signature of the handler must be:

void handler(
    // Result of operation. if the sequence is empty, set to
    // net::error::not_found. Otherwise, contains the
    // error from the last connection attempt.
    error_code const& error,

    // On success, the successfully connected endpoint.
    // Otherwise, a default-constructed endpoint.
    typename Protocol::endpoint const& endpoint
);

Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using net::post.
