Re: [boost] [date-time] bug determining system time

Hello,

we just found an error inside the date-time library.

I use "boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::local_time()" to get the actual time. When the microseconds overflow and a new second starts, the seconds don't get incremented atomically together with the microseconds.

Is this a known bug?

My System: boost version 1.31.0 Linux 2.6.3, SMP (Red Hat Enterprise) 2x Intel Xeon HT

Hi Harald -- yes this is a known bug. The fix is in the current CVS version and will be in release 1.33. Jeff
