Just out of interest, what is the problem that prevents the date-time library from implementing a microsecond clock using GetSystemTimeAsFileTime on Win32?
Nothing except time and motivation of the author ;-) I've been meaning to get around to it for quite some time now, but it just hasn't made it off the todo stack -- partially because I haven't had a need for it personally.
having the test blame the compiler it a tad tacky, don'tcha think?
Well, I agree the comment is misleading -- it's the library not the compiler. A correct implementation the POSIX C API's would solve the issue with no work on my part. But I think the main point is clear -- if you compile and run this test you get a message it isn't supported by this platform for the time being.
One more minor point: the latest versions of Intel and Codewarrior apparently now support this function on Win32 -- at least of the meta-comm results are to be believed. Look under 'sslapeta' at http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/developer/date_time.ht... I'm pretty sure gcc under cygwin works as well. So it seems conceivable that other vendors could fix this instead of boost date-time having to fix it. Jeff
