What are the best practices for using Boost.Asio?

When using Boost.Asio, it's important to manage your I/O objects properly, use strands for thread safety, and avoid blocking calls.

Can you explain how to use strands for thread safety?

Strands in Boost.Asio ensure that handlers are executed in a specific order, preventing data races by serializing access to shared resources.

What should I avoid when working with Boost.Asio?

Avoid using blocking operations in your handlers, as they can hinder the performance of your asynchronous operations.

How can I improve performance in my Boost.Asio application?

To improve performance, consider using a thread pool, optimizing your I/O operations, and minimizing context switches.
