Hi everyone, I've tried compiling the following code and I get a weird error message with std::getline -- so I don't know if the problem is with asio, or with Microsoft's STL implementation. #include <boost/asio.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; using namespace boost; int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { using asio::ip::tcp::iostream; iostream http_stream("www.boost.org", "http"); http_stream << L"GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n" << L"Host: www.boost.org\r\n" << L"\r\n" << std::flush ; std::wostringstream http_response_stream; std::wstring line; while (!http_stream) { std::getline(http_stream, line, L'\n'); std::wcout << line << std::endl; }; return EXIT_SUCCESS; }; The build output is as follows: 1>main.cpp(52) : error C2784: 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &std::getline(std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &,std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &' from 'boost::asio::ip::tcp::iostream' 1> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE\string(528) : see declaration of 'std::getline' 1>main.cpp(52) : error C2784: 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &std::getline(std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &,std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &' from 'boost::asio::ip::tcp::iostream' 1> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE\string(528) : see declaration of 'std::getline' 1>main.cpp(52) : error C2784: 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &std::getline(std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &,std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &' from 'boost::asio::ip::tcp::iostream' 1> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE\string(528) : see declaration of 'std::getline' 1>Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. 1>Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information 1>main.cpp(52) : error C2782: 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &std::getline(std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &,std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> &)' : template parameter '_Elem' is ambiguous 1>(don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature). 1> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE\string(528) : see declaration of 'std::getline' 1> could be 'wchar_t' 1> or 'char' 1>main.cpp(52) : error C2780: 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &std::getline(std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &,std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> &,const _Elem)' : expects 3 arguments - 2 provided I'm using MSVC 8.0 with an updated boost trunk. Pointers would be most appreciated. -- Dean Michael C. Berris Software Engineer, Friendster, Inc. [http://cplusplus-soup.blogspot.com/] [mikhailberis@gmail.com] [+63 928 7291459] [+1 408 4049523]
