I'm trying to compile the asio Daytime.3 tutorial source from http://asio.sourceforge.net/boost_asio_0_3_7/libs/asio/doc/tutorial/tutdayti... and I'm getting an type error in an arg passed from asio to winsock. I'm going to try to grok the code in win_iocp_socket_service.hpp to understand the problem, but it's my first look at asio internals. (The tutorial builds correctly on Linux, not surprising as it's a windows specific binding.)
Any help or pointers are appreciated:
cl -c -nologo -EHsc -GR -Zc:forScope -MT -I/Boost/include/boost-1_33_1/ Daytime3-1.cpp -FoDaytime3-1.obj
In short, winsock2.h thinks you're compiling for Win16! The quick workaround is to add -DWIN32 to your compiler command line. This has been fixed properly in CVS since asio 0.3.7 was released. It's also not a problem with Platform SDKs that are newer than the one included with VC7.1. Cheers, Chris
