Re: [Boost-users] [date_time] Posix timespec support?

So really, I can't see what timespec brings for people trying to write portable code. So, what did you have in mind for 'support'?

I was looking at IEEE Std 1003.1 2004 Edition, int clock_gettime(clockid_t, struct timespec*); http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/ These are real-time extensions to POSIX, I gather. timespec seemed "standard" enough to have an easy conversion to ptime. Something like time_from_ftime(const FILETIME&); time_from_timespec<T>(const timespec&) perhaps. This would be "portable" for systems using real-time POSIX. I'm a date_time newbie, so perhaps I'm missing something fundamental. date_time is huge! I had no idea. terry
