#8893: Documentation Error

 Hello,

 Sorry for making a ticket here, I didn't know where to report this.
 Please forward to the right people.

 There's an error in the solution (code) proposed here:

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/signals/s04.html


 Towards the end of the code:
 // Restore the macro definition of "signals", as it was
 // defined by Qt's <qobjectdefs.h>.
 #  define signals protected

 that #define statement should be changed to

 #  define signals public

 Otherwise, it works on GCC, but does not work on Visual C++, as VC++
 compiler will produce a different symbol (after name mangling), and the
 linker will report errors

 Otherwise, the solution works great.  Thanks a million for having it!

 If you need to get a hold of me, you can reach me at
