Is there a known interaction between these two classes? I'm trying to create a simple example, but I can't get boost::timer to count sleep() time :|

Timer uses clock() internally, which counts only CPU time on Linux and total time on Windows. Given non-portable nature of Boost.Timer, I would not recommend using it. Roman Perepelitsa.

It's strange that it is available in Boost without this kind of warning! Is there a portable and reliable timer in Boost ?

You can take a look at Boost.Chrono, and Boost.Stopwatches which should be review soon.

Thanks for the links. I will watch them and if they make it to an official release, I'll check if they can fulfill my needs. I can't use them now in production code when they may not be supported in the future.
