I want to do a timed join, with a relative time of 0.1s. I can not figure out from the docs how to do this. I find the prototypes somewhat mystifying:
bool timed_join(const system_time& wait_until);
template<typename TimeDuration> bool timed_join(TimeDuration const& rel_time);
What is system_time? What should TimeDuration be?
system_time is declared in boost/thread/thread_time.hpp: it is a typedef to boost::posix_time::ptime from the date-time library. TimeDuration is any boost date-time duration. e.g. boost::posix_time::milliseconds You are not the only person to notice the missing docs for the timeout stuff. It's on my list of things to add.
