As a shortcut, I've looked at the libraries that had commits to develop on the 18th: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/commits/develop?after=Y3Vyc29yOudbdLMAs4G… It looks like hana, chrono, ratio, and thread (with wave and core/winapi the previous day). If I get a chance tonight I'll start checking through those. Meanwhile, if those authors could look at those and see if there is anything that might be causing this, it would be appreciated. > > Other than that, maybe it's one of the libraries tested on Travis < > https://travis-ci.org/boostorg/boost>.

Is it testing individual libraries? Tom

[thread]Forever sleeping

Recent runs of my regression test runner NA-QNX660-x86 leave a lot of Boost.Thread test executables stuck in nanosleep, waiting for a condition variable, or both. Commit 544eda [1] which switched from CLOCK_REALTIME to CLOCK_MONOTONIC seems suspicious to me. If the returned timespec is ever compared to values based on the CLOCK_REALTIME epoch, such as system_clock, the results will be quite undesirable. Are you sure the return values of timespec_now() are only ever compared to each other and values based on the CLOCK_MONOTONIC epoch? [1] https://github.com/boostorg/thread/commit/544eda51bdf0c62b2f29dea6fe1cf935a… Regards, Niklas Angare
