现在我不明白他们为什么要让write 函数在io_service 中发布呼叫？所以这将是线程安全的，并且 no1 会同时使用套接字？这是否确保不会发生 2Xasync_write ？并且没有async_write 和async_read 会一起使用吗？ 我是否必须确保asynch_write 和async_read 不会同时发生？或者同时做这两件事是否安全？ 顺便说一句，如果我想让代码运行得更快，我知道我可以创建 2 个（或更多）线程来执行 io_service::run() 所以在这种情况下我必须使用互斥锁来确保我上面写的事情不会发生吗？

Answer 1

io_service::post 从 chat_client::write 公共方法中使用，因为 async_write 是 composed operation，并且应用程序需要确保在流完成之前不会对流执行其他操作。

这个操作是按照术语来实现的 对流的零个或多个调用 async_write_some 函数，并且是 称为组合操作。这 程序必须确保流 不执行其他写操作 （例如 async_write，流的 async_write_some 函数，或任何 执行的其他组合操作 写）直到这个操作 完成。

真正的工作是在chat_client::do_write 中完成的，其中使用了传出消息队列。

编辑：

在聊天客户端示例中，只有一个线程调用io_service::run，因此处理程序中不存在线程安全问题。如果您有多个线程调用io_service::run，您应该调查链而不是我在your previous question 中描述的互斥锁。
