  • Boost v1.78.0
    7 projects | /r/cpp | 7 Dec 2021
    On mobile so have trouble finding relevant docs, but this commit seems to contain bulk of the io_uring support: https://github.com/boostorg/asio/commit/292dcdcb94d1e5cd47b3275c1e8ad93dd19dc912
  • Should a function like read_until include the delimiter?
    1 project | /r/cpp_questions | 17 Jul 2021
    I guess this file will have the answer: https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/develop/include/boost/asio/impl/read_until.hpp
  • OpenSSL SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations
    1 project | /r/ssl | 19 Jun 2021
    For example, the authour of Boost.Asio demonstrated setting up SSL protocol here. He provides ca.pem and sha1.0 files, yet does not load sha1.0 in client.cpp.
  • When should I override basic_streambuf::seekoff?
    3 projects | /r/cpp | 3 Mar 2021
    Doing some research on other people's experience in implementing custom stream buffers, I rarely see seekoff (and it's companion seekpos) being overriden. Boost ASIO's basic_streambuf does not. This article on writing custom stream buffers and this other article (both show up on the first page in a Google search) do not.
