boost::asio async_read_some async_read_until Compiler Warning

I am using the following methods:

boost::asio::streambuf io_bufstream;

boost::asio::async_read_until(socket_, io_bufstream, "</message>", 
    strand_.wrap(
    boost::bind(&Connection::handleRead, shared_from_this(),
    boost::asio::placeholders::error,
    boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred)));//warning: line 36


boost::array<char, 8192> buffer_    
socket_.async_read_some(boost::asio::buffer(buffer_),
    strand_.wrap(
    boost::bind(&Connection::handleRead, shared_from_this(),
    boost::asio::placeholders::error,
    boost::asio::placeholders::bytes_transferred))); // warning

I get the following warning:

C:\dev\sapphire\boost_1_46_1\boost/asio/detail/reactive_socket_recv_op.hpp(58) : warning C4800: 'int' : forcing value to bool 'true' or 'false' (performance warning)

Here is the complete output as well:

            ReadHandler=boost::asio::detail::wrapped_handler,boost::_bi::list3>,boost::arg<1>,boost::arg<2>>>>
        ]

From my understanding is that the error comes from line 36 but I don't understand what is happening. I think it has something to do with the bytes_transferred being used as a bool when it is int. If anyone could clarify on this issue and/or how to fix it, it would be superb!

Thanks!

This is a Visual Studio-specific warning, and it's being emitted from Boost's code, not yours. It can be ignored in most cases. If you want to disable it, use the appropriate pragma.

#pragma warning(disable: 4800)

It may have been fixed in the latest Boost.ASIO version. I have 1.47 installed and the line in question doesn't emit this warning.
