##### basic_socket::basic_socket (6 of 10 overloads)

Construct a `basic_socket`, opening it and binding it to the given local endpoint.

    template<
        typename ExecutionContext>
    basic_socket(
        ExecutionContext & context,
        const endpoint_type & endpoint,
        typename enable_if< is_convertible< ExecutionContext &, execution_context & >::value >::type *  = 0);
