Comment:

 I was able to reproduce this warning, but I don't see any short term fix.
 Seems like the warning is an artifact of the unspecified_bool_type idiom.

 The longer term fix is for boost.system to use the C++11 explicit
 conversion operator, as is specified for the standard library's version of
 these classes. That change has now been made (changeset 83210) for
 compilers that support the C++11 explicit conversion operator, such as
 late model gcc and VC++ November 2012 CTP. On that basis, the issue is
 being closed.

 Thanks,
