11368,boost thread's usage of CreateWaitableTimer wakes PC from sleep (doh),denger,viboes,"Hi,

after upgrading to boost 1.58 from 1.57 a lot of users complained that my app was prematurely aborting the PC's sleep state. The culprit can easily detected and it was indeed my process: ""powercfg /lastwake""

It shows that the process had set a ""wake timer"". The changes in boost/libs/thread/src/win32/thread.cpp seem to be the cause.

Please remove usage of ""CreateWaitableTimer"" in function ""interruptible_wait()"" or at least provide some means (preprocessor variable, whatever) to allow compilation of boost::thread without ""CreateWaitableTimer"".

Thanks",Bugs,closed,Boost 1.60.0,thread,Boost 1.58.0,Regression,fixed,,raad@…
