[Boost-users] Boost ASIO cancelling jobs from another thread

Subject: [Boost-users] Boost ASIO cancelling jobs from another thread

We are developing a client-server application using Boost ASIO for
asynchronous socket communication.  We were wondering whether it is safe to
cancel a read on a socket by closing the socket from another thread
(without any additional synchronization)?   What would be the preferred way
to cancel operations from different threads?

Thanks in advance,
