Hi all, I was exprimenting with a new plugin over the weekend with and arrived to a blocking point, probably because my lack of experience with the async story in C++. This is the challenge.
I'm integrating a C++ client that invokes calls asynchronously and returns objects that implement std::future. I was thinking about creating an AsyncProvider where the invocation happens in the `run()` method. When I started to think about the AsyncReceiver I started to question this approach. These are a few questions that came to my mind: - When do I send the dispatch to the AsyncProvider? - Where do I call `std::future::get` or any other blocking call to wait for the future response? - Are these calls going to block the TrafficServer threads completely? - Should I be using a different TrafficServer API? I did not find any examples of using std::futures anywhere, so I thought to ask the list. I'd really appreciate your feedback. Cheers, David
