Re: Assigning to a boost::asio::ssl::context while asynchronous operations are using it

Yes, you have no problem for now just by pure luck.
In the destructor of the context freeing all related to SSL resources.

How you can avoid the problems in future:

as an one of soltions, in your loop thread (if you have it, like me
for example):

1) io_.stop();
2) while (io_.poll()) {}
3) HERE your code to assign the context (perhaps you will need to
rehandshake alived sessions)
4) io_.restart();
5) acceptor_.async_accept(...);

PS: In my past project I had very likely approach - restart server
without stopping the process app. I had reject all my beginnings and
forced clients to reconnect by losed the connections (there are many
bytes would needs to store in shared memory (related to session data))
