address_v6 to_string on windows XP throws exception

[Remko Tronçon <remko@…>]

I have the following piece of code:

unsigned char a[16] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17}; boost::array<unsigned char, 16> data; for (int i = 0; i < 16; ++i) {

data[i] = a[i];

} boost::asio::ip::address_v6 b(data); b.to_string();

This works on all platforms I have tried it on (Linux, OS X, Windows 7), except on Windows XP. On XP, it throws the following exception:

boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<struct boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<class boost::system::system_error> > An invalid argument was supplied

Sorry about this report, you can close this ticket. It seems Windows XP doesn't come with IPv6 enabled by default; enabling it solves my problem.
