Boost asio reference (constructors)
Author
The official Boost Asio reference doesn't list any constructors (or at least none that I can find.) Is there another reference that lists the constructors for the various objects (like endpoints, acceptors, etc?)
Endpoint.
Acceptor.
Lots of template abuse, look into basic_xyz, those are actual classes, the rest are mostly typedefs.

In general, the constructors want the io_service object as an argument.
Whether it's template "abuse" or "use" is, I guess, a matter of personal preference. Boost chooses static polymorphism where possible, presumably for speed-over-storage trade-offs. In the most common case, there's only one implementation, so dynamic polymorphism would be a (small) net loss in any case.
I've found that using "grep -r" inside the boost/asio directory is the fastest way to find whatever I need.

Meh, verbosity was the word.
The design is ok, the namespaces just get out of hand.
