[Boost-users] [boost-thread] why not writ e "sleep" in a better

hi: it really a trouble thing for me to use boost::thread::sleep() : boost::xtime helloworldtime; boost::xtime_get(&helloworldtime, boost::TIME_UTC); helloworldtime.sec += 6; boost::thread::sleep(helloworldtime); i think "boost::thread::sleep(1500) //millisecond " may easy my programming;if have such interface; now i use : void thread_sleep(unsigned int interval) //millisecond { boost::xtime xt; boost::xtime_get(&xt, boost::TIME_UTC); int sec=interval/1000; int msec=interval-1000*sec; xt.nsec += 1000*1000*msec; xt.sec+= sec; boost::thread::sleep(xt); } best wishes;-)
