How do I use Boost Asio timers in C++?

You can use Boost Asio's steady_timer to create timers. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>

void print(const boost::system::error_code& /*e*/) {
    std::cout << "Timer expired!" << std::endl;
}

int main() {
    boost::asio::io_context io;
    boost::asio::steady_timer timer(io, std::chrono::seconds(5));
    timer.async_wait(&print);
    io.run();
    return 0;
}

This sets a timer for 5 seconds.

What if I want to set a repeating timer?

You can use a loop to reset the timer after each expiration. Would you like to see that example?
