We need to create a server object to accept incoming client connections.

<p>
The constructor initialises an acceptor to listen on TCP port 13.

<pre class="programlisting"> tcp_server(boost::asio::io_context&amp; io_context)

acceptor_(io_context, tcp::endpoint(tcp::v4(), 13))

</pre>
<p>
The function <code class="computeroutput">start_accept()</code> creates a socket and initiates an
asynchronous accept operation to wait for a new connection.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> void start_accept()
{
tcp_connection::pointer new_connection =

<p>
The function <code class="computeroutput">handle_accept()</code> is called when the asynchronous
accept operation initiated by <code class="computeroutput">start_accept()</code> finishes. It services
the client request, and then calls <code class="computeroutput">start_accept()</code> to initiate
the next accept operation.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> void handle_accept(tcp_connection::pointer new_connection,
const boost::system::error_code&amp; error)

<p>
We will use <code class="computeroutput">shared_ptr</code> and <code class="computeroutput">enable_shared_from_this</code>
because we want to keep the <code class="computeroutput">tcp_connection</code> object alive as long
as there is an operation that refers to it.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">class tcp_connection
: public boost::enable_shared_from_this&lt;tcp_connection&gt;
{
public:
typedef boost::shared_ptr&lt;tcp_connection&gt; pointer;
static pointer create(boost::asio::io_context&amp; io_context)
{
return pointer(new tcp_connection(io_context));
}
tcp::socket&amp; socket()
{
return socket_;
}
</pre>
<p>
In the function <code class="computeroutput">start()</code>, we call boost::asio::async_write()
to serve the data to the client. Note that we are using boost::asio::async_write(),
rather than <a class="link" href="../reference/basic_stream_socket/async_write_some.html" title="basic_stream_socket::async_write_some">ip::tcp::socket::async_write_some()</a>,
to ensure that the entire block of data is sent.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> void start()
{
</pre>
<p>
The data to be sent is stored in the class member <code class="computeroutput">message_</code> as
we need to keep the data valid until the asynchronous operation is complete.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> message_ = make_daytime_string();
</pre>
<p>
When initiating the asynchronous operation, and if using boost::bind(), you
must specify only the arguments that match the handler's parameter list.
In this program, both of the argument placeholders (boost::asio::placeholders::error
and boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred) could potentially have
been removed, since they are not being used in <code class="computeroutput">handle_write()</code>.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> boost::asio::async_write(socket_, boost::asio::buffer(message_),
boost::bind(&amp;tcp_connection::handle_write, shared_from_this(),
boost::asio::placeholders::error,
boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred));
</pre>
<p>
Any further actions for this client connection are now the responsibility
of <code class="computeroutput">handle_write()</code>.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> }
private:
tcp_connection(boost::asio::io_context&amp; io_context)
: socket_(io_context)
{
}
void handle_write(const boost::system::error_code&amp; /*error*/,
size_t /*bytes_transferred*/)
{
}
tcp::socket socket_;
std::string message_;
};

</h5>
<p>
You may have noticed that the <code class="computeroutput">error</code>, and <code class="computeroutput">bytes_transferred</code>
parameters are not used in the body of the <code class="computeroutput">handle_write()</code> function.
If parameters are not needed, it is possible to remove them from the function
so that it looks like:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> void handle_write()
{
}
</pre>
<p>
The boost::asio::async_write() call used to initiate the call can then be
changed to just:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> boost::asio::async_write(socket_, boost::asio::buffer(message_),
boost::bind(&amp;tcp_connection::handle_write, shared_from_this()));
</pre>
