Hello list,
In ACE and on Linux the Proactor pattern is not recommended. Instead
of this, ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor seems to be recommended. It is one of Reactor
implementation.
ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor uses epoll in a level-trigger method.
But, I am not sure of this information.... I just found some blog essays on
internet.
Now I wonder about boost.asio. boost.asio must have a proactor
implementation on Linux, I guess.
How does the proactor of boost.asio work? Does it use epoll? Is it
edge-triggered? What about real-time signal? Doesn't boost.asio use
real-time signal on Linux?
What is the recommended implementation of boost.asio for asynchronous and
non-blocking overlapped IO on Linux?
Thank you in advance!
