Yep, I agree. The thread sleep function is terrible. I'd like a function that takes a boost::posix_time::time_duration. One solution could be to add a simple utility function that just takes a time_duration and returns an xtime. Then you could do; boost::thread::sleep(boost::to_xtime(boost::posix_time::microseconds(230))); Cheers Lars hongleij@126.com wrote:

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;-)
