How to empty the task pool in boost asio service?

Question

One can add task with post() but how to clear all the pool in the io_service? (so it stops processing any task and clears the pool)

The short story: stop() stops processing tasks from the queue(s) (any handlers are not interrupted of course).

reset() prepares the io_service for re-use.
