Hi,

The lines of code you posted seem to be ok, so the problem is somewhere in the code you haven't posted here. Ensure that your io_service is initialized *before* you pass it to the other asio objects, and that the socket is initialized before you pass it to the acceptor.
Here is an example of how you should use the acceptor:

Hello. I am trying to write a simple server, and I am using an
asynchronous acceptor to get clients:
  acceptor.async_accept(crtclient->getSocket(),
boost::bind(&Server::gotClient, this, boost::asio::placeholders::error));
As soon as this is executed, my Server::gotClient gets called with
ec.message()="An invalid argument was supplied."
<...>
What could be wrong? Am I constructing socket incorrectly with
socket_(ioserv)? Because if I construct it with socket_(ioserv,
boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4()), I get the error "Already open" in
ec.message(), rather than "An invalid argument was supplied".
