Re: [Boost-users] boost bind conflicting with socket bind

Sharad Mittal:

Hello, My Socket code that contains call to "bind" to a port is conflicting with boost::bind in 1.36. It compiles fine under boost 1.34 and 1.35. Interestingly, nothing is included from boost in that file. I am using boost with mingw on Win Xp.

The code snippet is as follows: ...

if (bind(s_, (sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sockaddr_in)) == SOCKET_ERROR) {

I don't know why this call chooses to call boost::bind instead of the socket bind; it may have something to do with the type of s_. Either way, you should be able to fix it by using ::bind instead of just bind. -- Peter Dimov http://www.pdplayer.com
