Compiler error boost::asio::placeholder::error with boost v1.69 - c++

Question

The following code compiles and runs with the expected results ( 'done' on console after 3 seconds ) when build in codeblocks v17 with 32 bit g++ v5.1 and boost v1.63
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
namespace pinmed
{
class cTimedEvent
{
public:
cTimedEvent( boost::asio::io_service& ios )
: myTimer( ios )
{
}
/** Schedule one-off timed event
#param[in] msecs delay from now
#param[in] handler to call when delay expires
*/
template<
typename H >
void Schedule(
int msecs,
H handler )
{
myTimer.expires_from_now(
boost::posix_time::milliseconds( msecs ));
myTimer.async_wait( handler );
}
private:
boost::asio::deadline_timer myTimer;
};
class cClass
{
public:
cClass( boost::asio::io_service& ios )
: myTimedEvent( ios )
{
myTimedEvent.Schedule(
3000,
boost::bind(
&cClass::handler,
this,
boost::asio::placeholders::error) );
}
void handler(
const boost::system::system_error& e)
{
std::cout << "done\n";
}
private:
cTimedEvent myTimedEvent;
};
}
using namespace std;
int main()
{
boost::asio::io_service ios;
pinmed::cClass theClass( ios );
ios.run();
return 0;
}
However, when I "upgrade" to 64 bit g++ v8.2 with boost v1.69 then I get a horrible compiler error:

Answer 1

What is the signature of handler of deadline_timer::async_wait method?
According to reference it is:
void handler(
const boost::system::error_code& error // Result of operation.
);
What is your signature?
void handler(
const boost::system::system_error& e)
{
std::cout << "done\n";
}
Change your handler to:
void handler(
const boost::system::error_code& e)
{
std::cout << "done\n";
}
