I have a proxy app where I dont know how much to read and write to clients so if I block and wait for read I might prevent writes. What I do is to create 2 threads per socket to be able to read and write separately but it sounds a little expensive creating 2 threads per connection. Is there a bette…

You can do this very easily with async/await. In synchronous code you are forced to spawn two threads.

as we discussed on the other thread for some reason async await messes things up in my workflow. I simply cannot get it working but sync code works perfectly and easier to debug. After that failure I am extremely cautious about async.

Unless you want to re-implement what async/await already does through mio, you are forced to spawn two threads. I'm not sure which other thread you're referring to.

I dont use async after having lots of problems with it. It was nearly impossible to debug and I ended up throwing weeks of effort away.

I'd be interested to hear what problems you had. Of course I had headaches figuring all this out well enough to get it working. Mostly sorted by my asking dumb questions here and getting very good hints and tips that made it all fall into place in an understandable manner. Thanks everyone here, by …

See my reply in that other thread.
