Hi! We've been using Boost 1.38.0: WinXP SP3 on 32-bit box VisualStudio 2005, MSVC++ 8.0, 32-bit builds. I've just rebuilt Boost 1.38.0 on another system for 64-bit builds: Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP1 VisualStudio 2008, MSVC++ 9.0, 64-bit builds. Found no visible build errors during the Boost build. Yet when I build our own code on the 64-bit system, I get these three compile errors deep inside boost::asio code that I have no control over:
---------------- error C2664: 'QueueUserAPC' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'void (__cdecl *)(ULONG)' to 'PAPCFUNC' D:\dev\3rdParty_x64\include\boost\asio\detail\win_thread.hpp 151 ---------------- error C2664: 'GetQueuedCompletionStatus' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'DWORD *' to 'PULONG_PTR' D:\dev\3rdParty_x64\include\boost\asio\detail\win_iocp_io_service.hpp 142 ---------------- error C2664: 'GetQueuedCompletionStatus' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'DWORD *' to 'PULONG_PTR' D:\dev\3rdParty_x64\include\boost\asio\detail\win_iocp_io_service.hpp 430 ----------------
The "D:\dev\3rdParty_x64" is where I've installed the includes & libs for Boost and other components. As you can see, those errors are not in our code; they're deep in the ASIO code itself, and I don't see how we could be causing them. I didn't write our code that uses ASIO, so I don't know anything about what ASIO is trying to do there. :( Since I couldn't find any other complaints online about this, I'm flailing around for support. Any pointers would be appreciated. Pertinent data: 64-bit WindowsServer2008 SP1 on Intel 64-bit box VisualStudio2008 SP1 (SP2 is still RC, I think, so we can't use it.) Our projects using "x64" configuration, so uses x64 compiler. Boost built with x64 compiler via: toolset=msvc-9.0 address-model=64 Thanks!

Done. I'm not sure what to look for in the test output. Is there a good string indicating "failed" that I can search for? ("fail" doesn't appear anywhere.)

You might want to also double check your SDK version anyway like Christopher mentioned. If you're using a really old SDK version, it might give you other unforseen problems not related to boost. The latest platform sdk can always be found at microsoft's website.

I'm using whatever SDK comes with VS2008 (SP1 installed). Just building for "x64" platform. Nothing special.

It appears to me that you can only get this error if you have defined WINVER to be something less than 0x0500, which means the software you are building is attempting to support a version of windows PRIOR to Windows 2000. Is this your intention? Try defining WINVER to be 0x0500 (if you want to run on Win2k and higher) and 0x0501 (if you want to run on WinXP+)

This could be related to the first issue. DWORD* and PULONG_PTR are supposed to be exactly the same type when compiling for x64 on recent operating systems. So it makes me think that the compiler thinks you're on a really old operating system. I would try this #define WINVER 0x0501 #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501 either in your stdafx.h if you use precompiled header, or as a command line option if you don't.

On our 32-bit builds (where this problem does NOT occur) we have been using _WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 in an inherited .vsprops file. That's for both of these setups: - WinXP SP3 + VS2005, mostly for development, testing, etc - WindowsServer2003 + VS2005, generally our "production" environment On the 64-bit builds (where the problem DOES occur) I am using _WIN32_WINNT=0x0600 directly in the .vcproj files. That's on a WindowsServer2008 SP1, VS2008 setup. Either "windows.h" or "WinNT.h" says 0x0600 is "Longhorn", and it appears that WindowsServer2008 qualifies, based on what I thought I saw when I intentionally omitted _WIN32_WINNT and let the compiler pick the value. Maybe I'm wrong; I'll try to verify what happens if I don't specify anything for _WIN32_WINNT. If you think 0x0600 is a BAD value to use, let me know and I'll revert to 0x0501 all the way around.

anything greater than or equal to 0x0500 is fine, but the asio header file is actually checking WINVER, not _WIN32_WINNT. WINVER is really just the 'legacy' version of _WIN32_WINNT but conceptually they are used for the same purpose. so i'm not sure why the header checks WINVER instead of _WIN32_WINNT, although there may be a good reason. Anyway, long story short, leave the _WIN32_WINNT=0x0600 in, but additionally add WINVER=0x0600 and try that. The reason this doesn't occur on 32 bit is because ULONG_PTR is a different type on 32 and 64-bits.
That took care of it. Thank you!
