https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8921 <p> boost/asio/detail/win_event.hpp ignores failures from <a class="missing wiki">WaitForSingleObject</a>. There's not much point in locking if the wait failed since your not in an expected state. </p> <p> 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. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8921 Trac 1.4.3
