I see that we have a deadline timer in boost. I am looking for a periodic timer. I see that there is a sample code in boost website to simulate a periodic timer. Over a period of time I think it will probably cause some slippage. I am looking at microsecond granularity Can someone please advise? #include <iostream> #include <boost/asio.hpp> #include <boost/thread.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> class printer { public: printer(boost::asio::io_service& io) : timer1_(io, boost::posix_time::microseconds(10)), count_(0) { timer1_.async_wait(boost::bind(&printer::print1, this)); } ~printer() { std::cout << "Final count is " << count_ << "\n"; } void print1() { if (count_ < 100) { timer1_.expires_at(timer1_.expires_at() + boost::posix_time::microseconds(10)); timer1_.async_wait(boost::bind(&printer::print1, this)); std::cout << "Timer 1: " << count_ << "\n"; ++count_; } } private: boost::asio::deadline_timer timer1_; int count_; }; int main() { boost::asio::io_service io; printer p(io); boost::thread t(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &io)); io.run(); t.join(); return 0; } -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ph : (732) 647 5679 Email: khandelwal.amit@gmail.com Web: http://khandelwal.amit.googlepages.com/home -------------------------------------------------------------------
