Start an asynchronous operation to read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until a function object indicates a match.
template< typename AsyncReadStream, typename DynamicBuffer_v2, typename MatchCondition, typename ReadToken = default_completion_token_t< typename AsyncReadStream::executor_type>> DEDUCED async_read_until( AsyncReadStream & s, DynamicBuffer_v2 buffers, MatchCondition match_condition, ReadToken && token = default_completion_token_t< typename AsyncReadStream::executor_type >(), constraint_t< is_match_condition< MatchCondition >::value > = 0, constraint_t< is_dynamic_buffer_v2< DynamicBuffer_v2 >::value > = 0);
This function is used to asynchronously read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until a user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data contained in the dynamic buffer sequence, indicates a successful match. It is an initiating function for an asynchronous operation, and always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:
This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async_read_some function, and is known as a composed operation. If the match condition function object already indicates a match, this asynchronous operation completes immediately. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async_read, async_read_until, the stream's async_read_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.
The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncReadStream concept.
The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.
The function object to be called to determine whether a match exists. The signature of the function object must be:
pair<iterator, bool> match_condition(iterator begin, iterator end);
where iterator
represents
the type:
buffers_iterator<typename DynamicBuffer_v2::const_buffers_type>
The iterator parameters begin
and end
define the
range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a match.
The first
member
of the return value is an iterator marking one-past-the-end of the
bytes that have been consumed by the match function. This iterator
is used to calculate the begin
parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The
second
member of
the return value is true if a match has been found, false otherwise.
The completion
token that will be used to produce a completion handler, which
will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens
include use_future
, use_awaitable
, yield_context
, or a function
object with the correct completion signature. The function signature
of the completion handler must be:
void handler( // Result of operation. const boost::system::error_code& error, // The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's // get area that have been fully consumed by the match // function. O if an error occurred. std::size_t bytes_transferred );
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this
function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will
be performed in a manner equivalent to using post
.
After a successful async_read_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent async_read_until operation to examine.
void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t)
The default implementation of the is_match_condition
type trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects
with a result_type
typedef.
It must be specialised for other user-defined function objects.
To asynchronously read data into a std::string
until whitespace is encountered:
typedef boost::asio::buffers_iterator< boost::asio::const_buffers_1> iterator; std::pair<iterator, bool> match_whitespace(iterator begin, iterator end) { iterator i = begin; while (i != end) if (std::isspace(*i++)) return std::make_pair(i, true); return std::make_pair(i, false); } ... void handler(const boost::system::error_code& e, std::size_t size); ... std::string data; boost::asio::async_read_until(s, data, match_whitespace, handler);
To asynchronously read data into a std::string
until a matching character is found:
class match_char { public: explicit match_char(char c) : c_(c) {} template <typename Iterator> std::pair<Iterator, bool> operator()( Iterator begin, Iterator end) const { Iterator i = begin; while (i != end) if (c_ == *i++) return std::make_pair(i, true); return std::make_pair(i, false); } private: char c_; }; namespace asio { template <> struct is_match_condition<match_char> : public boost::true_type {}; } // namespace asio ... void handler(const boost::system::error_code& e, std::size_t size); ... std::string data; boost::asio::async_read_until(s, data, match_char('a'), handler);
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following cancellation_type
values:
cancellation_type::terminal
cancellation_type::partial
if they are also supported by the AsyncReadStream
type's async_read_some
operation.
