3312,boost::asio::deadline_timer.expires_from_now() ignores local time,victor.v.lukashov@…,chris_kohlhoff,"The {{{expire_from_now()}}} method assumes that 'now' is UTC time which is completely discouraging.

Consider the following sample program:
{{{
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
	using namespace std;
	using namespace boost::asio;
	using namespace boost::posix_time;

	io_service service;
	deadline_timer timer(service);

	cout << ""current UTC time is '"" << to_simple_string(microsec_clock::universal_time()) << ""'"" << endl;
	cout << ""current local time is '"" << to_simple_string(microsec_clock::local_time()) << ""'"" << endl;
	timer.expires_from_now(minutes(1));
	cout << ""timer is set to expire at '"" << to_simple_string(timer.expires_at()) << ""'"" << endl;

	return 0;
};
}}}

It produces the follwing output:
{{{
current UTC time is '2009-Aug-03 12:11:41.775770'
current local time is '2009-Aug-03 19:11:41.782770'
timer is set to expire at '2009-Aug-03 12:12:41.791770'
}}}

I believe the output should be:
{{{
current UTC time is '2009-Aug-03 12:11:41.775770'
current local time is '2009-Aug-03 19:11:41.782770'
timer is set to expire at '2009-Aug-03 19:12:41.791770'
