[asio-users] asio::error and std::exception

[Arvid N. <c9...@cs...>]

I have a few comments/questions.

I think asio::error should derive from std::exception and implement a  
what() member function. Right now I can't find any way to convert an  
error code into a descriptive string, and I think a what() function  
would be a good candidate for doing that.

What's the rationale behind having  
basic_stream_socket::get_remote_endpoint() not return an endpoint,  
but take a reference to one? It makes it much more cumbersome to use  
because I have to have named temporaries. If there's a good reason, I  
think it should be stated in the documentation. I also think it  
should just be called remote_endpoint().

Personally, I also consider the headers-only to be a show-stopper for  
boost acceptance. I think this should be fixed, preferably before the  
review start.
