[section:AcceptHandler Accept handler requirements]

An accept handler must meet the requirements for a [link
boost_asio.reference.Handler handler]. A value `h` of an accept handler
class should work correctly in the expression `h(ec)`, where `ec` is an lvalue
of type `const error_code`.

[heading Examples]

A free function as an accept handler:

  void accept_handler(
      const boost::system::error_code& ec)
  {
    ...
  }

An accept handler function object:

  struct accept_handler
  {
    ...
    void operator()(
        const boost::system::error_code& ec)
    {
      ...
    }
    ...
  };

A non-static class member function adapted to an accept handler using `bind()`:

  void my_class::accept_handler(
      const boost::system::error_code& ec)
  {
    ...
  }
  ...
  acceptor.async_accept(...,
      boost::bind(&my_class::accept_handler,
        this, boost::asio::placeholders::error));
