I am using boost-beast library for a websocket connection. You can refer to this example for the understanding what is happening. I have used the same example, but changed a few things:
split the on_handshake(beast::error_code ec)
into three functions A(beast::error_code ec)
,B(beast::error_code ec)
and C(beast::error_code ec)
B()
sends binary data, and A()
and C()
are sending text.
A()
calls B()
as callback and B()
calls C()
as callback.
Now I am stuck at a point where I want to do this:
void session::A(beast::error_code ec) {
if (ec)
return (fail(ec, "handshake"));
ws_.async_write(net::buffer(SOMETEXT),bind(&session::B, shared_from_this(), placeholders::_1));
}
void session::B(beast::error_code ec) {
if (ec)
return (fail(ec, "A_FAILED"));
if(condition1) {
ws_.binary(true);
ws_.async_write(net::buffer(SOMEBINARY),bind(&session::C, shared_from_this(), placeholders::_1));
} else {
session::on_write(ec,<WHAT SHOULD I WRITE HERE>);
}
}
void session::C(beast::error_code ec) {
if (ec)
return (fail(ec, "B_FAILED"));
ws_.binary(false);
ws_.async_write(net::buffer(SOMETEXT),bind(&session::on_write, shared_from_this(), placeholders::_1, placeholders::_2));
}
Here is the Read function:
void
on_write(
beast::error_code ec,
std::size_t bytes_transferred)
{
boost::ignore_unused(bytes_transferred);
if(ec)
return fail(ec, "write");
// Read a message into our buffer
ws_.async_read(
buffer_,
std::bind(
&session::on_read,
shared_from_this(),
std::placeholders::_1,
std::placeholders::_2));
}
QUESTION:- Please check the function B()
and my question there. Any advice or answer is appreciated.
You can just put a 0
in the argument and mark it as unused
e.g. session::on_write(ec, 0 /* field unused */);
