Hi, ----- Original Message ----- From: "JohnQ" <jqs@jqs.net> To: <boost@lists.boost.org> Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 9:07 PM Subject: [boost] boost.timer library submission...
While using Boost for a recent project, I needed a timer class that would allow me to set a time in the future at which some data would be handed back to me via callback. It had to be thread-safe, boost friendly, and allow for deletion of timers after they were set but before they expired. I took a look at the Timer library that Beman had submitted but that didn't appear to satisfy my needs, so I wrote one. I think this type of library is a fairly common request... while looking for one I saw a number of people also looking for the same thing... so I'm hoping this fills a gap. In addition, I'm hoping that peer review will help increase the robustness of this library to the benefit of all.
I'm interested as I have already request interest for the same functionality. You can take a lock at Boost.Asio that implent it on the context of its io service class.
Where do I begin for submitting it?
Attach a zip file on the Boost Vault. Best, Vicente
