[Boost-users] Compiling Boost with 4 byte packing...

I am trying to get boost asio to work with my code (which is using 4 byte
struct member alignment and  _cdecl calling convention).  I get the
following error when calling asio::async_write:

Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a
function call.  This is usually a result of calling a function declared with
one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different
calling convention.

What am I missing?  I have read everything on ABI that I can find:

http://www.boost.org/development/separate_compilation.html

I changed boost\config\abi\msvc_prefix.hpp to use #pragma pack(push,4).

I also am using the command line option for bjam:

cxxflags="/Zp4 /Gd"

The Microsoft documentation seems to indicate that the /Zp should override
the #pragma if the #pragma is larger or equal:

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
