basic_socket_acceptor::basic_socket_acceptor (3 of 6 overloads)

Construct an acceptor opened on the given endpoint.

basic_socket_acceptor(
    asio::io_context & io_context,
    const endpoint_type & endpoint,
    bool reuse_addr = true);

This constructor creates an acceptor and automatically opens it to listen for new connections on the specified endpoint.

Parameters

io_context: The io_context object that the acceptor will use to dispatch handlers for any asynchronous operations performed on the acceptor.
endpoint: An endpoint on the local machine on which the acceptor will listen for new connections.
reuse_addr: Whether the constructor should set the socket option socket_base::reuse_address.

Exceptions

asio::system_error: Thrown on failure.

Remarks

This constructor is equivalent to the following code:

basic_socket_acceptor<Protocol> acceptor(io_context);
acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol());
if (reuse_addr)
  acceptor.set_option(socket_base::reuse_address(true));
acceptor.bind(endpoint);
acceptor.listen(listen_backlog);
