Re: [boost] Boost Threads Condition may block forever on clock change

Hi,

Thank you to everyone who replied to my question. Its
very good that it is now possible to initialize
condition with a relative timeout, if I understood the
last post correctly. This help to resolve at least
part of the problem.

One quick note, another cross OS library that
implements a lot of threading primitives is APR
(Apache Runtime Library). I have been using APR
heavily for the last few month and my testing showed
that APR does not have this problem of being affected
by clock changes. I am not sure about their internal
implementation so can't comment on differences between
APR and BOOST condition but this might be something
interesting to look at.

Thank you,

Alex
