3713	no straightforward way to convert fractional number of seconds to time duration	Paul Pogonyshev <pogonyshev@…>	az_sw_dude	"It should be possible to just build a time duration for given number of seconds for double or float parameters.  Current best way suggested on IRC is 'milliseconds (1000 * num_seconds)', but it feels like doing extra unneeded work.  Besides, this way I need to choose between milli/micro/nano weighing precision loss vs. potential overflow on 32-bit machines.  Boost, knowing how many ticks are in a second, could do this better.

What I'm actually trying to do is to call timed_wait() on a condition.  Currently, I have to

    condition.timed_wait (lock, milliseconds (1000 * num_seconds));

where as if double was implicitly convertible to time duration I could just

    condition.timed_wait (lock, num_seconds);

which is cleaner and more explicit."	Feature Requests	new	Boost 1.42.0	date_time	Boost 1.40.0	Problem			vicente.botet@…
