Start an asynchronous operation to read a certain amount of data from a stream.
template<
typename AsyncReadStream,
typename DynamicBuffer_v2,
typename CompletionCondition,
typename ReadHandler>
DEDUCED async_read(
AsyncReadStream & s,
DynamicBuffer_v2 buffers,
CompletionCondition completion_condition,
ReadHandler && handler,
typename enable_if< is_dynamic_buffer_v2< DynamicBuffer_v2 >::value >::type * = 0);
This function is used to asynchronously read a certain number of bytes of data from a stream. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:
This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async_read_some function, and is known as a composed operation. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async_read, the stream's async_read_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.
The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncReadStream concept.
The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.
The function object to be called to determine whether the read operation is complete. The signature of the function object must be:
std::size_t completion_condition( // Result of latest async_read_some operation. const boost::system::error_code& error, // Number of bytes transferred so far. std::size_t bytes_transferred );
A return value of 0 indicates that the read operation is complete. A non-zero return value indicates the maximum number of bytes to be read on the next call to the stream's async_read_some function.
The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be:
void handler(
const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes copied into the
// buffers. If an error occurred,
// this will be the number of
// bytes successfully transferred
// prior to the error.
);
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function.
On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed
in a manner equivalent to using post.
