Hi,

Thanks. A couple of more questions:

a) Could you help me with a sample code which handles shutdown gracefully (async shutdown + timer) for iterative servers?

b) I have also seen issues where the code hangs just like the shutdown() when I invoke socket_.lowest_layer().cancel(). Is this expected?

c) Is this what is the code to be put in the async shutdown handler?

socket_.lowest_layer().close(ignored_ec);

Regards,

Fariya

You are mixing synchronous and asynchronous operations on the same
socket, which is generally disallowed. Use async_shutdown instead, and
also use a timer to close the socket after some time period (say, 30
seconds).
