I see - yes, this is very likely indeed. In that context more questions:

Simply calling run in my case doesn't help: sj->dFC->io_service.run();

So I saw a number of examples, in which an extra thread is created via:

boost::thread t = boost::thread (boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &sj->dFC->io_service));
t.join();

This didn't change anything either.

Is it correct to create an explicit thread ? If so does my base-class (which contains the async_functions) have to inherit this thread in order to make it work ? At the moment I simply create it within the class.

Thanks in advance,
best
