a clean branch without boost #4

Open akkaze opened 4 years ago

as far as I know,asio does not depend on boost now.So can you provide a branch that does not depend on boost? after all, boost is too large and complicated

My current goal is to make it compile with networking TS (already supported in GCC without any external dependency).

I think this is more interesting (looking forward to a next C++ standard which includes the networking TS) than replacing boost with standalone asio.

In any case, if you have a good reason to skip the networking TS and focus on standalone asio, I will consider it.

@juliobg below is possible, I use it in my code.

#ifdef USE_BOOST
   #include "boost/asio/ts/socket.hpp"
   #include "boost/asio/ts/buffer.hpp"
   #include "boost/asio/ts/..." // obviously illustration
#else
   #include "asio/ts/socket.hpp"
   #include "asio/ts/buffer.hpp"
   #include "asio/ts/..." // obviously illustration
#endif // USE_BOOST

And it's faster to compile compared to <asio.hpp> or <boost/asio.hpp>, you only take what you need. This library won't need much work for that to happen.

Edit: Needs work but doable
