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. Where do I begin for submitting it? Thanks, John Q.
