Re: [boost] [review] Shmem

I see a need to define the official Boost time management functions for Thread/Processes. boost::xtime was supposed to be a temporary solution. Is Boost.DateTime the way to go? I think that it would be useful to decide it before Shmem is released.

I would vote for using Boost.DateTime. It would be unfortunate to add a dependency between Shmem and DateTime, but I believe that Boost.Threads is supposed to be a temporary solution, and increasing the dependence on Threads may be worse than creating the dependence on DateTime. Having said that, I suspect that it wouldn't matter all that much to a user until Boost.Threads is changed. -Fred
