[asio-users] socket.send_to(vector<> ) max_buffers

[Apostolos Manolitzas]

Hello all,

after several hours of debugging I figured out that by using the

|template||<||
||typename|| ||ConstBufferSequence <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/ConstBufferSequence.html>||>||
||std||::||size_t|| ||send_to||(||
||const|| ||ConstBufferSequence|| ||&|| ||buffers||,||
||const|| ||endpoint_type|| ||&|| ||destination||);||
|


there is some limitation in the size of buffers, by max_buffers. After
that the packets are ignored.
Should the library throw some error? Or at least try to send the packets
in chunks of max_buffers?


thanks all for your efforts supporting this very useful library.

To the Asio maintainers:
But it will be better to put a reference to this part (with some kind of
warning) at description of buffers concept (in
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/core/buffe
rs.html). Let's make Asio documentation better. Some of its really
meaningful parts are located too deep.

To the Asio maintainers:
The runtime check for debug mode would be useful. It could ever become a
part of the "Buffer Debugging"
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/core/buff
ers.html#boost_asio.overview.core.buffers.buffer_debugging).
