Experiences with I/O Completion Ports
-
I'm wondering if anyone has used I/O Completion Ports and what their experience was in using them. I'm hoping to use them to synchronize and dispath worker threads in an ISAPI extension (there is an MSDN example for this called afxpool). My concern is that they are a relatively unused construct and may become unsupported.. Regards, Ian

They will not become unsupported. The OS uses I/O completion ports extensively within itself. It's a basic design of the OS to allow asynchronous I/O. (on NT that is)
