Hi, this is very interesting ( am I currently testing out C++ web server (using boost asio) called pion to see if can suit my needs (it is a multi-threaded async IO generic server and boost asio uses the best async APIs for each OS (including kques for freebsd for example).
I looked at the example threads.cpp -- but could not figure out -- how would it integrate with Twisted ? thanks On Thu, 29 Jan 2009 12:21:36 -0800, "Tom Cocagne" <tom.coca...@gmail.com> said: > The question of whether anyone had developed a C++ implementation of > Twisted's Deferreds has cropped up on this list several times over the > last > few years.
