Comment(by Maxim Yanchenko <Maxim.Yanchenko@…>):

 In my particular case it's a third-party library that exposes its internal
 socket.
 I use Boost.Asio to read from this socket to a null buffer to determine if
 it's time to ask this library to read from the socket.
 The problem I have is double closing of the socket during shutdown - both
 library and asio try to close the socket.
 Currently I just dup the socket from the library before giving it to asio
 - but it's a workaround, I'd like to have something more straightforward,
 like a parameter for attach() like "don't close in dtor".
