Comment (by Ross MacGregor <gordonrossmacgregor@â¦>):
I've discovered a more serious problem. Methods
tick_count_traits::subtract will return a large overflow value if t2 > t1.
This happens periodically in the timer_queue and causes the timer to stop
working for a long period of time.
I've attached my solution to the problem. Basically, I changed
duration_type to be a signed value that is reflected in the call to the
method to_posix_duration. It may be possible to reduce my subtract method
to something less complicated. I've also included a small test for
tick_count_traits in the example.
