Subject: [boost] Boost Asio in Windows

I'm trying to use asio in linux and windows, and I have to use a very
specific way of starting my IO Service to get it to work in windows xp:
void start()
{
tcp::endpoint endpoint = *iterator_;
socket_.async_connect(endpoint,
boost::bind(&MessageHandler::handle_connect, this,
boost::asio::placeholders::error, ++iterator_ ) );
boost::thread t( boost::bind( &boost::asio::io_service::run,
&(socket_.get_io_service() )));
t.detach();
//threadPool_.schedule(boost::bind( &boost::asio::io_service::run,
&(socket_.get_io_service()) ) );
}
The commented out line is what I wanted to use (threadpool), as thread
detach is far from an ideal situation. To work in windows, I have to call
io_service.run() in this function and thread detach; it doesn't seem to
work any other way. Everything pretty much works in linux. Is there a
pattern that I should be using here for cross platform usage of the
library? Any ideas why the threadpool solution doesn't work in windows? (
http://threadpool.sourceforge.net/)
