Re: [boost] [auto_link][thread] Including boost/thread/thread.hpp requires linking against date_time?

In a Visual Studio 2008 project, when I include the trunk version of boost/thread/thread.hpp, it seems I must also link against the date_time library. When I build the same program with bjam, while not linking against date_time, the resulting program runs just fine.

So my question is: Why does including thread.hpp require linking against the date_time library? It seems that it is not needed at all?

The new trunk/release version of boost.thread has replaced uses of the private xtime type with uses of the date_time library in the functions that take timeouts: sleep, timed_lock, timed_wait, etc. Anthony
