Category: threads Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Mike Glassford (glassfordm) Summary: condition::timed_wait doesnt take amount of time to wait Initial Comment: The timed wait method of boost::condition class allows waiting till the time specified in the argument. It does not allow waiting up to specific duration of time. That is, one cant say following: boost::condition condVar; condVar.timed_wait( ..., seconds(10) ); On some platforms waiting till the specified time is not the best idea. An example is Windows. A timed_wait can be called to wait till time 10 seconds ahead of current time. But then system clock is rolled back by 3 hours and variable will wait through those 3 hours. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1468789&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
