/** Base class to assist writing composed operations.

    A function object submitted to intermediate initiating functions during
    a composed operation may derive from this type to inherit all of the
    boilerplate to forward the executor, allocator, and legacy customization
    points associated with the completion handler invoked at the end of the
    composed operation.

    The composed operation must be typical; that is, associated with one
    executor of an I/O object, and invoking a caller-provided completion
    handler when the operation is finished. Classes derived from
    @ref async_base will acquire these properties:

    @li Ownership of the final completion handler provided upon construction.

    @li If the final handler has an associated allocator, this allocator will
        be propagated to the composed operation subclass. Otherwise, the
        associated allocator will be the type specified in the allocator
        template parameter, or the default of `std::allocator<void>` if the
        parameter is omitted.

    @li If the final handler has an associated executor, then it will be used
        as the executor associated with the composed operation. Otherwise,
        the specified `Executor1` will be the type of executor associated
        with the composed operation.

    @li An instance of `net::executor_work_guard` for the instance of `Executor1`
        shall be maintained until either the final handler is invoked, or the
        operation base is destroyed, whichever comes first.

    @li Calls to the legacy customization points
        `asio_handler_invoke`,
        `asio_handler_allocate`,
        `asio_handler_deallocate`, and
        `asio_handler_is_continuation`,
        which use argument-dependent lookup, will be forwarded to the
        legacy customization points associated with the handler.

    @par Example

    The following code demonstrates how @ref async_base may be be used to
    assist authoring an asynchronous initiating function, by providing all of
    the boilerplate to manage the final completion handler in a way that
    maintains the allocator and executor associations:

    @code

    // Asynchronously read into a buffer until the buffer is full, or an error occurs
    template<class AsyncReadStream, class ReadHandler>
    typename net::async_result<ReadHandler, void(error_code, std::size_t)>::return_type
    async_read(AsyncReadStream& stream, net::mutable_buffer buffer, ReadHandler&& handler)
    {
        using handler_type = BOOST_ASIO_HANDLER_TYPE(ReadHandler, void(error_code, std::size_t));
        using base_type = async_base<handler_type, typename AsyncReadStream::executor_type>;

        struct op : base_type
        {
            AsyncReadStream& stream_;
            net::mutable_buffer buffer_;
            std::size_t total_bytes_transferred_;

            op(
                AsyncReadStream& stream,
                net::mutable_buffer buffer,
                handler_type& handler)
                : base_type(std::move(handler), stream.get_executor())
                , stream_(stream)
                , buffer_(buffer)
                , total_bytes_transferred_(0)
            {
                (*this)({}, 0, false); // start the operation
            }

            void operator()(error_code ec, std::size_t bytes_transferred, bool is_continuation = true)
            {
                // Adjust the count of bytes and advance our buffer
                total_bytes_transferred_ += bytes_transferred;
                buffer_ = buffer_ + bytes_transferred;

                // Keep reading until buffer is full or an error occurs
                if(! ec && buffer_.size() > 0)
                    return stream_.async_read_some(buffer_, std::move(*this));

                // Call the completion handler with the result. If `is_continuation` is
                // false, which happens on the first time through this function, then
                // `net::post` will be used to call the completion handler, otherwise
                // the completion handler will be invoked directly.

                this->complete(is_continuation, ec, total_bytes_transferred_);
            }
        };

        net::async_completion<ReadHandler, void(error_code, std::size_t)> init{handler};
        op(stream, buffer, init.completion_handler);
        return init.result.get();
    }

    @endcode

    Data members of composed operations implemented as completion handlers
    do not have stable addresses, as the composed operation object is move
    constructed upon each call to an initiating function. For most operations
    this is not a problem. For complex operations requiring stable temporary
    storage, the class @ref stable_async_base is provided which offers
    additional functionality:

    @li The free function @ref allocate_stable may be used to allocate
    one or more temporary objects associated with the composed operation.

    @li Memory for stable temporary objects is allocated using the allocator
    associated with the composed operation.

    @li Stable temporary objects are automatically destroyed, and the memory
    freed using the associated allocator, either before the final completion
    handler is invoked (a Networking requirement) or when the composed operation
    is destroyed, whichever occurs first.

    @par Temporary Storage Example

    The following example demonstrates how a composed operation may store a
    temporary object.

    @code

    @endcode

    @tparam Handler The type of the completion handler to store.
    This type must meet the requirements of <em>CompletionHandler</em>.

    @tparam Executor1 The type of the executor used when the handler has no
    associated executor. An instance of this type must be provided upon
    construction. The implementation will maintain an executor work guard
    and a copy of this instance.

    @tparam Allocator The allocator type to use if the handler does not
    have an associated allocator. If this parameter is omitted, then
    `std::allocator<void>` will be used. If the specified allocator is
    not default constructible, an instance of the type must be provided
    upon construction.

    @tparam Handler The type of the completion handler to store.
    This type must meet the requirements of <em>CompletionHandler</em>.

    @tparam Executor1 The type of the executor used when the handler has no
    associated executor. An instance of this type must be provided upon
    construction. The implementation will maintain an executor work guard
    and a copy of this instance.

    @tparam Allocator The allocator type to use if the handler does not
    have an associated allocator. If this parameter is omitted, then
    `std::allocator<void>` will be used. If the specified allocator is
    not default constructible, an instance of the type must be provided
    upon construction.
