Description

Hi all!

To reproduce:

#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <ncurses.h>

If i try to include both libraries together i get next error:

$ g++ -lncurses -lboost_system -lboost_thread -o main *.cpp /usr/include/boost/asio/detail/socket_option.hpp:242: error: ‘stdscr’ is not a type /usr/include/boost/asio/detail/socket_option.hpp:252: error: ‘stdscr’ is not a type /usr/include/boost/asio/detail/socket_option.hpp:252: error: expected identifier before ‘)’ token

Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed

(In [52412]) Fix incompatibility between asio and ncurses.h due to the latter defining a macro called "timeout". Fixes #2156.
