[section:time Time Requirements]
As of Boost 1.50.0, the __boost_thread__ library uses Boost.Chrono library for all operations that require a
time out as defined in the standard c++11. These include (but are not limited to):
* `boost::this_thread::__sleep_for`
* `boost::this_thread::__sleep_until`
* `boost::__thread::__try_join_for`
* `boost::__thread::__try_join_until`
* `boost::__condition_variable::__wait_for`
* `boost::__condition_variable::__wait_until`
* `boost::__condition_variable_any::__cvany_wait_for`
* `boost::__condition_variable_any::__cvany_wait_until`
* `__TimedLockable::__try_lock_for`
* `__TimedLockable::__try_lock_until`
[section:deprecated Deprecated]
The time related functions introduced in Boost 1.35.0, using the [link date_time Boost.Date_Time] library are deprecated. These include (but are not limited to):
* __sleep__
* __timed_join__
* __cond_timed_wait__
* __timed_lock_ref__
For the overloads that accept an absolute time parameter, an object of type [link thread.time.deprecated.system_time `boost::system_time`] is
required. Typically, this will be obtained by adding a duration to the current time, obtained with a call to [link
thread.time.deprecated.get_system_time `boost::get_system_time()`]. e.g.
boost::system_time const timeout=boost::get_system_time() + boost::posix_time::milliseconds(500);
extern bool done;
extern boost::mutex m;
extern boost::condition_variable cond;
boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> lk(m);
while(!done)
{
if(!cond.timed_wait(lk,timeout))
{
throw "timed out";
}
}
For the overloads that accept a ['TimeDuration] parameter, an object of any type that meets the [link
date_time.posix_time.time_duration Boost.Date_Time Time Duration requirements] can be used, e.g.
boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(25));
boost::mutex m;
if(m.timed_lock(boost::posix_time::nanoseconds(100)))
{
// ...
}
[section:system_time Typedef `system_time`]
#include <boost/thread/thread_time.hpp>
typedef boost::posix_time::ptime system_time;
See the documentation for [link date_time.posix_time.ptime_class `boost::posix_time::ptime`] in the Boost.Date_Time library.
