使用boost::asio:async_write 接受buffer对象时注意事项

 

 

使用buffer异步传入对象时注意事项

问题：

在解决产品bug时，有这样一种case：程序在数据稍微大一点的情况下，会时而崩溃，时而正常，经过定位，发现崩溃是在boost库的async_write处。

查阅官方文档发现，async_write传入的对象必须确保能在调用回调函数的时候没有被销毁，否则程序有可能会崩溃

Boost.Asio takes advantage of this feature to add buffer debugging. Consider the following code:

void dont_do_this()
{
     std::string msg = "Hello, world!";
     boost::asio::async_write(sock, boost::asio::buffer(msg), my_handler);
}

When you call an asynchronous read or write you need to ensure that the buffers for the operation are valid until the completion handler is called. In the above example, the buffer is the std::string variable msg. This variable is on the stack, and so it goes out of scope before the asynchronous operation completes. If you're lucky then the application will crash, but random failures are more likely.

正确的用法应该为(提升msg作用域)

void dont_do_this()
{
     m_strMsg = "Hello, world!"; //提升作用域
     boost::asio::async_write(sock, boost::asio::buffer(m_strMsg), my_handler);
}
