What do I have to do to solve the problem? Marco

[dmxvlx]

You can fix it by:

#define ASIO_STANDALONE 1

void start_receive()
  {
    socket_.async_receive_from(
        asio::buffer(recv_buffer_), remote_endpoint_,
        std::bind(&udp_server::handle_receive, this,
          std::placeholders::_1,
          std::placeholders::_2));
  }

But you will get error in ASIO_HANDLER_TYPE_REQUIREMENTS_ASSERT macros. There are no support for std::bind.

I have same problem (

Same error here? How to fix it?

I have same problem (

looks like, asio::placeholders will be enabled for boost.bind. and the compiler flag -DASIO_STANDALONE indicates, non-boost, standalone version of asio..I suppose.

But you will get error in ASIO_HANDLER_TYPE_REQUIREMENTS_ASSERT macros.

The completion-token signature for async_send_to should look something like void(std::error_code, std::size_t)

handle_send(error_code,size_t) can you refer to asio document and confirm whether your handlers comply with asio handler's signature requirement?

use std::bind; Refer to asio's document and confirm whether your handlers comply with asio handler's signature requirement?

[amir110]

yes, using std::bind solves the problem
