Thanks, i already did :) I could use deadline_timer to perform an asynchronous wait and have it call a given method when the timer expires. But i still need a way to interrupt the thread that is currently waiting for the tcp data, and since that thread object would not be available in the callback method i don't see how i could do that.

Look at asio::deadline_timer.
i am currently trying to implement something very simple: i have some network code (using boost/asio) which waits for data on a tcp connection (tcp::socket). Now i want this waiting operation to have a timeout. I did not find timeout capability in boost/asio so i tried to implement a timer class using boost/thread.
