Re: handling disk IO within asio programs

Chris,

Chris,

Thanks, those are good examples to hack what I want.

Is the following  reasoning correct ?
For file IO (compared to the services example) it is best to create
 a new thread for every completed write otherwise
I don't see how a single background thread can scale (or keep a
thread pool)

I think asio should have some file_service for this very common need
What do you think ?
