duration and absolute_time will have distinct types. In Boost at the moment, for boost::condition_variable, duration is anything that implements the Boost Date-Time duration concept, such as boost::posix_time::milliseconds, and absolute_time is boost::system_time.
Please could you add this to the documentation of the Boost.Thread (duration_type is anything that implements the Boost Date-Time duration concept). I have no seen it on the documentation. The same should be true for the other uses of dureation_type as template parameter. I think that it becomes urgent to solve the time versus duration concepts usable on real time applications and doispose of specific models.
It's on my list. Anthony -- Anthony Williams | Just Software Solutions Ltd Custom Software Development | http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk Registered in England, Company Number 5478976. Registered Office: 15 Carrallack Mews, St Just, Cornwall, TR19 7UL
