Boost C++ Libraries

...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world. — Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards

basic_socket_acceptor::basic_socket_acceptor (5 of 10 overloads)

Construct an acceptor opened on the given endpoint.

basic_socket_acceptor(
    const executor_type & ex,
    const endpoint_type & endpoint,
    bool reuse_addr = true);

This constructor creates an acceptor and automatically opens it to listen for new connections on the specified endpoint.

Parameters

ex: The I/O executor that the acceptor will use, by default, to dispatch handlers for any asynchronous operations performed on the acceptor.
endpoint: An endpoint on the local machine on which the acceptor will listen for new connections.
reuse_addr: Whether the constructor should set the socket option socket_base::reuse_address.

Exceptions

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

Remarks

This constructor is equivalent to the following code:

basic_socket_acceptor<Protocol> acceptor(my_context);
acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol());
if (reuse_addr)
  acceptor.set_option(socket_base::reuse_address(true));
acceptor.bind(endpoint);
acceptor.listen();
