associated_allocator_t is defined in boost/asio/associated_allocator.hpp header file:

{{{
#if defined(BOOST_ASIO_HAS_ALIAS_TEMPLATES)

template <typename T, typename Allocator = std::allocator<void> >
using associated_allocator_t
  = typename associated_allocator<T, Allocator>::type;

#endif // defined(BOOST_ASIO_HAS_ALIAS_TEMPLATES)
}}}

This means that associated_allocator_t will not be defined if BOOST_ASIO_HAS_ALIAS_TEMPLATES macro is not defined. This macro definition is arranged in boost/asio/detail/config.hpp header file:

{{{
// Support alias templates on compilers known to allow it.
#if !defined(BOOST_ASIO_HAS_ALIAS_TEMPLATES)
# if !defined(BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_ALIAS_TEMPLATES)
...
#  if defined(BOOST_ASIO_MSVC)
#   if (_MSC_VER >= 1900)
#    define BOOST_ASIO_HAS_ALIAS_TEMPLATES 1
#   endif // (_MSC_VER >= 1900)
#  endif // defined(BOOST_ASIO_MSVC)
# endif // !defined(BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_ALIAS_TEMPLATES)
#endif // !defined(BOOST_ASIO_HAS_ALIAS_TEMPLATES)
}}}

This means that BOOST_ASIO_MSVC macro is required for BOOST_ASIO_HAS_ALIAS_TEMPLATES definition. BOOST_ASIO_MSVC definition is arranged in the same file before.

{{{
// Microsoft Visual C++ detection.
#if !defined(BOOST_ASIO_MSVC)
# if defined(BOOST_ASIO_HAS_BOOST_CONFIG) && defined(BOOST_MSVC)
#  define BOOST_ASIO_MSVC BOOST_MSVC
# elif defined(_MSC_VER) && (defined(__INTELLISENSE__) \
      || (!defined(__MWERKS__) && !defined(__EDG_VERSION__)))
#  define BOOST_ASIO_MSVC _MSC_VER
# endif // defined(BOOST_ASIO_HAS_BOOST_CONFIG) && defined(BOOST_MSVC)
#endif // defined(BOOST_ASIO_MSVC)
}}}

It's obvious from the code that BOOST_ASIO_HAS_BOOST_CONFIG and BOOST_MSVC macros are required for BOOST_ASIO_MSVC macro definition. BOOST_ASIO_HAS_BOOST_CONFIG macro is actually defined but BOOST_MSVC macro is defined only for Microsoft cl compiler. For Intel's icl compiler BOOST_MSVC macro is not defined and BOOST_INTEL macro is defined instead.

As a result BOOST_ASIO_MSVC and BOOST_ASIO_HAS_ALIAS_TEMPLATES macros will not be defined. And finally 'namespace ""boost::asio"" has no member ""associated_allocator_t""' error appears.

One of possible solutions is to add this code into boost/asio/detail/config.hpp file:

{{{
 #if !defined(BOOST_ASIO_MSVC)
 # if defined(BOOST_ASIO_HAS_BOOST_CONFIG) && defined(BOOST_MSVC)
 #  define BOOST_ASIO_MSVC BOOST_MSVC
+# elif defined(BOOST_ASIO_HAS_BOOST_CONFIG) && defined(BOOST_INTEL)
+#  define BOOST_ASIO_MSVC BOOST_INTEL
 # elif defined(_MSC_VER) && (defined(__INTELLISENSE__) \
       || (!defined(__MWERKS__) && !defined(__EDG_VERSION__)))
 #  define BOOST_ASIO_MSVC _MSC_VER
}}}
