boost/asio compilation errors

I am getting several errors when trying to compile a precompiled header that includes boost/asio.hpp

Here is my precompiled header:



// Modify the following defines if you have to target a platform prior to the ones specified below.
// Refer to MSDN for the latest info on corresponding values for different platforms.
#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT // Specifies that the minimum required platform is Windows Vista.
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600 // Change this to the appropriate value to target other versions of Windows.
#endif

#pragma warning (disable:4503) // Decorated name length exceeded, name was truncated
#pragma warning (disable:4251) // Class '' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class ''
#pragma warning (disable:4275) // NonDLL-interface classkey 'identifier' used as base for DLL-interface classkey 'identifier'

I'm not completely sure what the problem is here, but if you are using #import (see my previous note) and precompiled headers simultaneously I don't think that will work, because the Microsoft compiler and Intel compiler can't understand each other's precompiled header format.

ACRT-function 'signal' is declared in a'signal.h' header file. Did you try to include it?

#include

I don't see any relation to '#import' directive in that case. There are 9 compilation errors and ALL of them are
related to'signal.h' header file.

I don't see any relation to '#import' directive, or precompiled headers, or precompiled headers format of
MSC and ICC C++ compilers, in that case.

There are 9 compilation errors and ALL of them are related to 'signal.h' header file.

Judith, please takelook atthe first compilation error carefully and you will see thata character'^' points to a'::signal(...)' CRT-function.

Best regards,

I think this was some kind of mismatch between boost headers. I was able to reproduce it using MSVC compiler yesterday. Disregard. I'll take it up on the boost forums if I see it again after a fresh grab of boost.
