Description
boost/asio/detail/win_event.hpp ignores failures from WaitForSingleObject. There's not much point in locking if the wait failed since your not in an expected state.
At minimum (as a user), I would expect Boost to use BOOST_ASSERT with an appropriate exception in debugging and diagnostic builds; and BOOST_VERIFY with an appropriate exception for release or production builds.
