How does threading work in Boost.Asio?

Boost.Asio provides a way to manage threads for asynchronous operations. You can use the io_context to run multiple threads that handle I/O operations concurrently.

Can you give me an example of using multiple threads with Boost.Asio?

Sure! You can create several threads that call io_context::run(). Each thread will process handlers from the I/O context, allowing for concurrent execution.

What are the benefits of using Boost.Asio for threading?

Using Boost.Asio simplifies asynchronous programming and helps manage resources efficiently, reducing the complexity of thread management.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

Yes, one limitation is that you need to ensure thread safety when accessing shared resources. Also, the performance may vary based on the number of threads and the workload.
