Code does not compile when using boost::asio::local::stream_protocol::iostream

[Hannes Brandstätter-Müller <hannes.mueller@…>]

I found a reference to this problem on ​this page. Unfortunately, there was no solution there to be found.

I get the following errors when trying to use

asio::local::stream_protocol::iostream stream_;

initialization in the constructor of my class as:

myclass::myclass(const std::string& file) : stream_(file) {}

Errors:

/usr/local/include/boost/asio/basic_socket_streambuf.hpp: In member function ‘boost::asio::basic_socket_streambuf<Protocol, StreamSocketService>* boost::asio::basic_socket_streambuf<Protocol, StreamSocketService>::connect(T0) [with T0 = std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, Protocol = boost::asio::local::stream_protocol, StreamSocketService = boost::asio::stream_socket_service<boost::asio::local::stream_protocol>]’:

As discussed elsewhere, the correct use is illustrated by the local/iostream_client.cpp example.

boost::asio::local::stream_protocol is posix system specific, it cannot be used in windows, are u compiling it in windows? Please go for linux.
