[Quickfix-developers] What thread or threads are involved when FIX::Session::sendToTarget is called?

[K. F. <kfr...@gm...>]

Hello List!

When the static member function FIX::Session::sendToTarget is called,
does the calling thread execute the entire send procedure synchronously,
all the way down to a socket write?  Or does the processing get handed
off to some other thread (such as the SocketAcceptor thread) to do most
of the work.

On a related note, I was trying to trace though the code, but I got confused:
It looks to me like Session::send calls Session::sendRaw, but that
Session::sendRaw calls Session::send.  I must have missed a code
branch somewhere, but I couldn't figure out where send drills down to
actually pumping stuff over the wire.  Could someone explain what is
going on here?

Thanks.
