Yeah it stores threads, not tasks, but isn't it true that you dispatch jobs to the current thread group using ioService.post? Maybe my question was wrong, because I went off using this recipe http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19500404/how-to-create-a-thread-pool-using-boost-in-c

I should have asked how ioService manages things.

So, suppose that I give so many tasks to a thread_group that it becomes more than what the thread pool can handle. I would want the thread pool to just take longer, but still complete them all. Also, I want the tasks processed First Come First Serve. What happens when too many tasks are given to it? Do they get queued up?

thread_group stores threads not tasks. In addition it is deprecated. I'm working on a basic thread pool in the develop branch. Boost.1.55 contains a first implementation but not yet documented in https://github.com/boostorg/thread/blob/master/include/boost/thread/thread_pool.hpp, but the interface will surely change when released https://github.com/boostorg/thread/blob/develop/include/boost/thread/executors/basic_thread_pool.hpp.

HTH,

When a thread_group is assigned a task using post, does that task get
executed sequentially? Is there a list, so that, when too many posts are
added to it, it keeps track of them?

Can you rephrase the question?  boost::thread_group does not have a post method.
