#11562: Timer (using steady_clock) expires after computer time is set forward on
Ubuntu 64-bit

     Type:  Bugs                        |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined            |  Component:  chrono
  Version:  Boost 1.59.0                |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  steady_clock, Linux 64-bit  |
----------------------------------------+---------------------
 We are using boost:chrono for the Timer implementation. Below is our
 implementation:


 {{{
 boost::chrono::time_point<boost::chrono::steady_clock>
 untilTime(boost::chrono::steady_clock::now() +
 boost::chrono::milliseconds(dueTime));

 boost::condition_variable  m_condition;
 (void)m_condition.wait_until(guard, untilTime);
 }}}


 After computer time on Ubuntu Linux 64-bit  (tested with 12.04 and 15.04)
 is set forward for the time bigger  then timer interval, timer expires
 immediately.

 We have reproduced the problem with different boost versions 1.51,
 1.54,1.55,1.57,1.59

 On Ubuntu Linux 32-bit (versions 12.04, 13.04) and Windows 7 (32-bit and
 64-bit) problem cannot be reproduced.
