### add_service

    template<
        typename Service>
    void add_service(
        io_service & ios,
        Service * svc);

This function is used to add a service to the `io_service`.

##### Parameters

ios

      delete static_cast<io_service::service*>(svc)

##### Exceptions

boost::asio::service_already_exists

  Thrown if a service of the given type is already present in the `io_service`.

boost::asio::invalid_service_owner

  Thrown if the service's owning `io_service` is not the `io_service` object specified by the ios parameter.

##### Requirements
