[Boost-users] error C2440: 'reinterpret_cast' : InterlockedCompareExchange from detail\interlocked.hpp

Apparently, the signature of this function has changed.

 

When we used it under Visual Studio 6.0 it compiled correctly however,
the following happens in MS VS 2008:

 

The following error appears

error C2664: 'InterlockedCompareExchange' : cannot convert parameter 2
from 'PVOID' to 'LONG'

 

If I just do a cast, I get:

error C2440: 'reinterpret_cast' : cannot convert from 'DWORD' to 'long'.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Joseph
