Hi,

It seems so in v1.39 and 1.40, without the macro
BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_KQUEUE defined. I've found it's due to a line in
the file
[boost/trunk/boost/asio/detail/kqueue_reactor_fwd.hpp]:

-------------------------------------------------------------
#if defined(__MACH__) && defined(__APPLE__)

// Define this to indicate that epoll is supported on the target platform.
#define BOOST_ASIO_HAS_KQUEUE 1
-------------------------------------------------------------

That only checks whether it is a MacOS system to enable kqueue, but
doesn't care any of FreeBSD. One said it's because some issues are not
yet fixed on use of kqueue on FreeBSD, but this seems to exist for
quite long. Is there any more information?

Thanks
