Problem with boost::thread::sleep
Using Boost 1.41, MSVC 2005, Win 7 x64 (compiling 32-bit). I was trying to set a small delay in a loop, so the loop doesn't consume all of the processor, using boost::thread::sleep(). I tried using the example from the threading documentation (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/doc/html/thread/time.html#thread.time. get_system_time): boost::thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(25)); I keep getting a compiler error from the line above. Error 2 error C2664: 'boost::thread::sleep' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'boost::date_time::subsecond_duration<base_duration,frac_of_second>' to 'const boost::system_time &' Is there something else I need to be doing to make this work? -Rob Yull

Did you want boost::this_thread::sleep ?
Thank you, that worked. I should have read a little more, I just made the assumption that this_thread::sleep and thread::sleep were basically the same call. -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Chard Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 2:15 PM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Problem with boost::thread::sleep "Rob Yull" <ryull@kaladorstudios.com> wrote in message news:014601ca908c$1e15d950$5a418bf0$@com...
