Hi.
I've written a tiny library which provides a simple front end for IO
completion ports.
The ultimate purpose of this is to provide excellent socket handling
under Win32 in libevent so that the socket problem Tor faces is solved.
My code base is written around a resource and error handling fr
very cool.
One technical note; I believe that I/O completion ports cannot handle
accept() type behaviour,
What do you mean by this?

With an IOCP, you can give the IOCP a *connected* socket and the IOCP
will call you back when a read occurs.
But you cannot pass in an *unconnected*

Interesting. In the AcceptEx() docs, we find this; "As with all
overlapped Windows functions, either Windows events or completion ports
can be used as a completion notification mechanism."

AcceptEx works great.
THe cool thing is that you can pre-create a pool of sockets waiting for
connection. When a socket is connected you'll get an event from GQCS call.
Typically I create about 20 at a time..when I get down to about 5 or so
remaining I use AcceptEx to queue up another batch of s
You might want to do some research on IOCP outside of MSDN. Codeproject has
a number of IOCP server samples you can look at
While the docs may say that those files you mention CAN be used with IOCP,
they are by no means the ONLY functions that can be used.
For example my server users AcceptEx f
