     22  *
     23  * @brief Default invoke function for handlers.
     24  *
     25  * Completion handlers for asynchronous operations are invoked by the
     26  * io_service associated with the corresponding object (e.g. a socket or
     27  * deadline_timer). Certain guarantees are made on when the handler may be
     28  * invoked, in particular that a handler can only be invoked from a thread that
     29  * is currently calling @c run() on the corresponding io_service object.
     30  * Handlers may subsequently be invoked through other objects (such as
     31  * io_service::strand objects) that provide additional guarantees.
     32  *
     33  * When asynchronous operations are composed from other asynchronous
     34  * operations, all intermediate handlers should be invoked using the same
     35  * method as the final handler. This is required to ensure that user-defined
     36  * objects are not accessed in a way that may violate the guarantees. This
     37  * hooking function ensures that the invoked method used for the final handler
     38  * is accessible at each intermediate step.
     39  *
     40  * Implement asio_handler_invoke for your own handlers to specify a custom
     41  * invocation strategy.
     42  *
     43  * This default implementation invokes the function object like so:
     44  * @code function(); @endcode
     45  * If necessary, the default implementation makes a copy of the function object
     46  * so that the non-const operator() can be used.
     47  *
     48  * @par Example
     49  * @code
     50  * class my_handler;
     51  *
     52  * template <typename Function>
     53  * void asio_handler_invoke(Function function, my_handler* context)
     54  * {
     55  *   context->strand_.dispatch(function);
     56  * }
     57  * @endcode
