Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SimpleTcpServer() [1/2]

core_lib::asio::tcp::SimpleTcpServer::SimpleTcpServer	(	boost_iocontext_t &	ioContext,
		uint16_t	listenPort,
		const defs::default_message_dispatcher_t &	messageDispatcher,
		eSendOption	sendOption = `eSendOption::nagleOn`,
		size_t	maxAllowedUnsentAsyncMessages = `MAX_UNSENT_ASYNC_MSG_COUNT`,
		size_t	memPoolMsgCount = `0`
	)

Initialisation constructor.

Parameters

[in]	ioContext	- External boost IO context to manage ASIO.
[in]	listenPort	- Our listen port for all detected networks.
[in]	messageDispatcher	- Callback to use to dispatch received messages.
[in]	sendOption	- Socket send option to control the use of the Nagle algorithm.
[in]	maxAllowedUnsentAsyncMessages	- Maximum allowed number of unsent async messages.
[in]	memPoolMsgCount	- Number of messages in pool for received message handling, defaults to 0, which implies no pool used.

Typically use this constructor when managing a bool of threads using an instance of core_lib::asioIoServoceThreadGroup in your application to manage a pool of std::threads. This means you can use a single thread pool and all ASIO operations will be executed using this thread pool managed by a single IO context. This is the recommended constructor.

NOTE: When the message pool feature is used then all messages passed to the the registered dispatcher are managed by the internal pool. Care must be taken in the dispatcher to process the messages as quickly as possibly so the pool doesn't fill and start overwriting older messages. If the messages need to be kept then it is the dispatchers job to make a suitable copy of the received message.

◆ SimpleTcpServer() [2/2]

core_lib::asio::tcp::SimpleTcpServer::SimpleTcpServer	(	uint16_t	listenPort,
		const defs::default_message_dispatcher_t &	messageDispatcher,
		eSendOption	sendOption = `eSendOption::nagleOn`,
		size_t	maxAllowedUnsentAsyncMessages = `MAX_UNSENT_ASYNC_MSG_COUNT`,
		size_t	memPoolMsgCount = `0`
	)

Initialisation constructor.

Parameters

[in]	listenPort	- Our listen port for all detected networks.
[in]	messageDispatcher	- Callback to use to dispatch received messages.
[in]	sendOption	- Socket send option to control the use of the Nagle algorithm.
[in]	maxAllowedUnsentAsyncMessages	- Maximum allowed number of unsent async messages.
[in]	memPoolMsgCount	- Number of messages in pool for received message handling, defaults to 0, which implies no pool used.

This constructor does not require an external IO context to run instead it creates its own IO context object along with its own thread. For very simple cases this version will be fine but in more performance and resource critical situations the external IO context constructor is recommend.

NOTE: When the message pool feature is used then all messages passed to the the registered dispatcher are managed by the internal pool. Care must be taken in the dispatcher to process the messages as quickly as possibly so the pool doesn't fill and start overwriting older messages. If the messages need to be kept then it is the dispatchers job to make a suitable copy of the received message.
