Asio 1.6: compile error in signal_set_service with MSVC10
Hi, I was just updating Boost from 1.46.1 to 1.47 and encountered a compile error inside Asio. Since there is no major outcry on this list I guess I've made an error anywhere in the upgrade process or my code. When compiling my static library that contains the networking code with (our only compiler) Visual Studio 2010 I get compile errors in asio/detail/impl/signal_set_service.ipp in line 74 saying 'boost::signal': use of class template requires template argument list As a remedy I simply defined BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_SIGNAL, the code compiles fine and I did not recognize any problems at a first short test. I tried to make a simple example showing the error, but I was not able to reproduce this easily. So I thougt I ask what disabling signals means for Asio and if this is a valid workaround, or if I really should try to get this compile error fixed before working with 1.47. thanks, Norbert

Perhaps, you import boost::signal into the global namespace before including asio headers.

Not quite. I didn't think of that possibility, since I usually don't
import anything into the global namespace. But I found an (unnecessary)
include of
But I found an (unnecessary) include of
. And that was enough to cause the problem. So thank you very much for the quick solution. I totally didn't think of that.
I now managed to build a testcase that consists of an empty main() function and the two includes, that causes the described error. See the code below.
thanks for your hint, Norbert ---------------------
#include
#include int main(int argc, char **argv) { return 0; }
This's a bug in asio, in boost\asio\detail\impl\signal_set_service.ipp, line 71: - signal(signal_number, asio_signal_handler); + ::signal(signal_number, asio_signal_handler);
