Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #11732: Use CreateEventW instead of CreateEvent https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11732 <p> We use boost.asio together with the Poco library. </p> <p> Poco has decided to #undef some common Windows API wrappers to avoid weird symbol decoration, among them <a class="missing wiki">CreateEvent</a>. </p> <p> The Windows convention is to have a #define for Function, which expands to FunctionA for non-Unicode builds and FunctionW for Unicode builds. </p> <p> Since asio does not appear to use named events (always passes 0 for the event name), it doesn't matter which one it uses. On Windows, the -A functions are always wrappers for the -W functions, so it makes sense to use the wide-char variant (should save at least a jump.) </p> <p> So I suggest that boost.asio should use CreateEventW consistently instead of <a class="missing wiki">CreateEvent</a>. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11732 Trac 1.4.3
