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@…
