Comment (by anonymous):

 I use FSF's gcc-4.2.4 objc++ compiler and, as opposed to Apple's compiler,
 this one also chokes on variables / template params with the name
 'Protocol'. A simple workaround so far is to redefine these before
 including boost, but it's quite a mess. Would it be viable to change all
 instances of Protocol (and presumably protocol) also ;)?

 In any case, I can imagine someone coming  across the same issue, the
 work-around is as follows:
 {{{
 #define id cpp_id
 #define Protocol cpp_Protocol
 #include <boost/asio.hpp>
 #undef id
 #undef Protocol
 }}}
