I've used review version of asio and found that if I include <windows.h> header before any asio headers then there are >100 errors arised with symbols redifinition. If it is included after asio headers - it compiles perfectly. Is this problem resolved in current CVS?
This is a problem inherent with <windows.h> in that it includes <winsock.h> if <winsock2.h> has not already been included. ASIO relies on Winsock2 functions, so it needs to include <winsock2.h> before <windows.h>. <winsock2.h> is incompatible with <winsock.h> - once one is included, including the other would lead to errors (but actually, they block on each other's header guards).
Yes, and to solve it I strongly suggest that you define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN as a global define for all you translation units. It removes most of the junk inside windows.h, including winsock.h, as far as I remember.
