[Boost-users] boost::timer elapsed_max() is too small

Hi,

I want to use boost timer to measure my program runtime.
Unfortunately, the maximum elapsed time that it can give is only about
two thousand seconds. I'm wondering if there is any way to increase
this limit?

Thanks,
Peng

$ cat main.cc
#include <boost/timer.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
  boost::timer this_timer;
  std::cout << this_timer.elapsed_max() << " sec" << std::endl;
}
$ ./main-g.exe
2147.48 sec
