shutdown	Shuts down all services in the context.

Friends

Name	Description
add_service	(Deprecated: Use make_service().) Add a service object to the execution_context.
has_service	Determine if an execution_context contains a specified service type.
make_service	Creates a service object and adds it to the execution_context.

The thread pool class is an execution context where functions are permitted to run on one of a fixed number of threads.

Submitting tasks to the pool

To submit functions to the thread pool, use the dispatch , post or defer free functions.

For example:

void my_task()
{
  ...
}

...

// Launch the pool with four threads.
asio::thread_pool pool(4);

// Submit a function to the pool.
asio::post(pool, my_task);

// Submit a lambda object to the pool.
asio::post(pool,
    []()
    {
      ...
    });

// Wait for all tasks in the pool to complete.
pool.join();
