Re: [Boost-users] Conflict between boost::bind and winsock's bind function

I’m using winsock’s bind function in my code.

After adding a bunch of header files related to boost for some other added functionality, I’m getting this error:

error C2668: 'boost::bind' : ambiguous call to overloaded function

1> c:\boost_1_49_0\boost\bind\bind.hpp(1480): could be 'boost::_bi::bind_t boost::bind(F,A1,A2)'

Perhaps, you imported the whole boost namespace into the global scope? Usually it's not a good idea.

How do I specify that I want to use winsock’s bind function and not boost’s?

Try ::bind(.....)
