Run the io_service
object's event processing loop.
std::size_t run( asio::error_code & ec);
The run()
function blocks until all work has finished and there are no more handlers
to be dispatched, or until the io_service
has been stopped.
Multiple threads may call the run()
function to set up a pool of threads
from which the io_service
may execute handlers.
All threads that are waiting in the pool are equivalent and the io_service
may choose any one of them to invoke a handler.
A normal exit from the run()
function implies that the io_service
object is stopped
(the stopped()
function returns true
).
Subsequent calls to run()
, run_one()
, poll()
or poll_one()
will return immediately unless there
is a prior call to reset()
.
Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.
The number of handlers that were executed.
The run()
function must not be called from a thread that is currently calling one
of run()
,
run_one()
,
poll()
or poll_one()
on the same io_service
object.
The poll()
function may also be used to dispatch ready handlers, but without blocking.
