Cheers,

I have a question regarding handling error bad file descriptor in asio  
async_accept. Standard example doesn't expose whether it's fatal or  
not. If I understand correctly bad_descriptor error is not fatal here,  
like it would be for usual POSIX accept() call, and we should continue  
accepting new incoming calls, no?

void handle_accept(tcp_connection::pointer new_connection,
       const boost::system::error_code& error)
   {
     if (!error)
     {
       new_connection->start();
       start_accept();
     }
   }

e.g.
     if (!error)
     {
       new_connection->start();
       start_accept();
     } else if (error == bad_descriptor) {
       start_accept();
     }

King regards,
