Re: [Boost-users] [date_time] Construct a time_period a year long

I'm want to represent a period of time of 1 year starting at the current ptime and ending at the corresponding ptime a year from now.

I've tried this: boost::posix_time::time_period _time_period( boost::posix_time::second_clock::local_time(), boost::gregorian::years(1) );

However I get this error: error: no matching function for call to `boost::date_time::period<boost::posix_time::ptime, boost::posix_time::time_duration>::period(boost::posix_time::ptime, boost::gregorian::years)'

Any thoughts on how to solve my problem?

Thanks, Ken

Time_period can't be initialized with a date_duration. Try replacing boost::gregorian::years(1) with boost::posix_time::hours(24*365). HTH, Beth
