It is weird. I develop Boost.Thread using OSX El Capitan 10.11.4 and I never had any similar issue.

Thanks for the information about when this was working and when not.

Oh, I see it now

the code is

#if defined BOOST_THREAD_HAS_CONDATTR_SET_CLOCK_MONOTONIC
    inline timespec timespec_now_monotonic()
    {
      timespec ts;
      if ( ::clock_gettime( CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts ) )
      {
        ts.tv_sec = 0;
        ts.tv_nsec = 0;
        BOOST_ASSERT(0 && "Boost::Thread - Internal Error");
      }
      return ts;
    }
#endif

This was a failed trial to use condition variables with monotonic clocks. BTW, Mac Os doesn't provide condition variables with monotonic clocks

Are you defining BOOST_THREAD_HAS_CONDATTR_SET_CLOCK_MONOTONIC? If yes, please don't do it :)

The code should work as before introducing this regression.

We are working on this, see https://github.com/boostorg/thread/pull/142. Hopping we will have this ready for boost-1.66.

Moved to support until we know the context. Are you defining BOOST_THREAD_HAS_CONDATTR_SET_CLOCK_MONOTONIC?

Closed as there is no follow up.

You will need to wait for Boost 1.67 as the cited branch is not yet ready.
