how to sleep a thread for specified milliseconds and/or nanoseconds
Hello, I'm using boost 1.35. Would someone please give example of best way to sleep for a specified duration of milliseconds or nanoseconds? It seems that xtime is being deprecated in the thread library, but the sleep function still wants an xtime? Thanks, Victor

boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(10)); boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::nanoseconds(10));

Yes, xtime is deprecated. KevinH -- Kevin Heifner heifner @ ociweb.com http://heifner.blogspot.com Object Computing, Inc. (OCI) www.ociweb.com

Great.Thank you!
Now, how can I sleep if I am not inside a boost::thread? When I try that, I get this compile error:
error: 'boost::this_thread' has not been declared
You can't not be in a thread. And that error usually means a missing include. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#...
You mean there is not a sleep function anywhere in boost but inside boost::thread? Wow...that's incredible disappointment.
sleep() resides in this_thread namespace just include the appropriate header file _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com. Get it now! http://www.live.com/getstarted.aspx

How does one sleep in main that allows milliseconds and is cross-platform with linux and windows xp?
boost::this_thread::sleep works in all threads, including those not started with boost::thread, such as main. However, you need to include the right header: #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> Anthony -- Anthony Williams | Just Software Solutions Ltd Custom Software Development | http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk Registered in England, Company Number 5478976.
