I’m currently using a thread to handle Connect and Send calls asynchronously. This is all working fine, but now I want to make receiving asynchronous too. How should I receive data without pausing the whole queue while waiting for data? The only solution I can think of right now is a second thread.
Look into non-blocking sockets and polling APIs like
select(2)/poll(2)/epoll(4)/kqueue(2).Specifically in C++, look into
boost::asio.
