can i build c++ none blocking tcp server and not in C like (node.js.nginx)

Question

Hi why each none blocking server is build with C ? cant i build it with c++ ?

Answer 1

Since you can call c functions from c++, yes. I've used non-blocking sockets in c++ and so have a lot of other people.

Answer 2

There is good library - asio (or boost.aiso). Maybe it's the best framework for asynchronous operations in C++.

Answer 3

Of course you can. Why wouldn't you? In windows you can use the TcpListener class to do a non blocking accept with the BeginAcceptTcpClient method. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.tcplistener.beginaccepttcpclient.aspx (Has example code)
