In boost::inteprocess timed locks are specified by giving a boost::posix_time::ptime as the absolute time until which ownership is attempted. Would it not be more usable to give a boost::posix_time::time_duration from the time in which the one attempts to acquire the lock ?
Consistency with the C++11 standard threading would dictate providing both interfaces (but using chrono instead of posix_time I think) -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
