<p>Hi there,</p> <p>When compiling the example program "Timer.5 - Synchronising handlers in multithreaded programs" of boost asio 1_44 with MSVC 2008 professional on Window XP professional, I got 8 compiling errors, although the code executes without any problem. Is it safe to ignore those warnings?</p> <p>BTW: the Boost 1_44 was installed on my machine with the Binary Installers recommended in boost documentation.</p> <p>Thanks,<br>Robert</p> <p>------- Compiling warnings I got ----------<br>1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: 4_strand_multithreaded, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------<br>1>Deleting intermediate and output files for project '4_strand_multithreaded', configuration 'Debug|Win32'<br> 1>Compiling...<br>1>4_strand_multithreaded.cpp<br>1>Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately.
