一、编写代码

注：以下代码取自boost 1.40的示例代码：

    }
    void start() {

    enum {

    char data_[max_length];
};
class server {
public:
    server(boost::asio::io_service& io_service, short port) :
        io_service_(io_service), acceptor_(io_service, tcp::endpoint(tcp::v4(),
                port)) {
        session* new_session = new session(io_service_);
        acceptor_.async_accept(new_session->socket(), boost::bind(

        server s(io_service, atoi(argv[1]));
        io_service.run();
    } catch (std::exception& e) {
        std::cerr << "Exception: " << e.what() << "\n";
    }
    return 0;
}

二、编译代码

$ g++ －g3 －Wall -o"async_tcp_echo_server" async_tcp_echo_server.cpp -lboost_system

注意：boost.asio库依赖boost_system

三、运行 async_tcp_echo_server

$ ./async_tcp_echo_server 8868 # 8868 是async_tcp_echo_server listen的端口号

四、用 telnet 命令作为客户端测试

新开启一个终端，注意：同样要登录到Linux实验室，执行： telnet localhost 8868

$ telnet localhost 8868
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
