| when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of |
| Windows, unless BOOST_ASIO_ENABLE_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo |
| function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its |
| use: |
| </p> |
| <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in |
| the current thread. |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel |
| the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating |
| system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that |
| are installed. |
| </li> |
| </ul></div> |
| <p> |
| For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives: |
| </p> |
| <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_IOCP. |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| Use the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">close</span><span class="special">()</span></code> |
| function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and |
| close the socket. |
| </li> |
| </ul></div> |
| <p> |
| When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx |
| function is always used. This function does not have the problems described |
| above. |
