[Boost-users] boost bind conflicting with socket bind

29 Oct 2008

      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:

int Socket::BindPort(int family, int address, int port) {
    sockaddr_in sa;
    int dwError = RERROR_SUCCESS;

    memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));

    sa.sin_family = family;
    sa.sin_addr.s_addr = address;
    sa.sin_port = htons(port);  

    if (bind(s_, (sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sockaddr_in)) == SOCKET_ERROR) {
        dwError = RERROR_SOCKET_BIND_ERROR;
        LOG (LOG_ERR, "Could not bind socket to port %u", port);
        BAIL_ON_ERROR (dwError);
    }

error:
    return dwError;
}

Here is what I am getting...
