Could someone tell me why this does not compile? I basically copied it from an example by Kholkoff (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/04/120339.php), back in 2007, about reads() in sockets with timeouts:

void CClient::setResult(boost::optional<boost::system::error_code>*
                         a,boost::system::error_code b)
{
    *a = b;
}

I'm binding() it like this:

timer.async_wait(boost::bind(&CClient::setResult, &timer_result, _1));

The errors that gcc prints are unreadable to me:

  • Please format your error output as you would your code with the indent of four spaces. This is taking hard to read output and making it worse. – Jonathan Seng Sep 18 '12 at 15:43

And how about 

timer.async_wait(boost::bind(&CClient::setResult, this, &timer_result, _1));

setResult is member function, if you use async_wait in CClient, or use some object of type CClient instead of this.
