Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #4685: boost::interprocess::winapi::get_last_bootup_time( std::wstring&)

¿Which failures? I see in trunk that some msvc tests are fine:

http://www.boost.org/development/tests/release/developer/interprocess.html

In my machine the string returned from windows WMI is:

20100918163015.375199+120

Maybe depending on the time zone, the offset part (+120 or whatever) is not present. Could you please print string contents to see what is windows WMI returning?

I will applying the patch but I wanted to be sure that it fixes the problem.

My machine returns:

20100923072129.484625-300

60% of the interprocess release tests fail under msvc-8.0 and some other win32 platforms. I think this one bug is causing many of them.

The above npos-check made my test code run. Without it, it crashed.

For the record, I think std::string::erase() ought to handle npos, and I'm disappointed that it doesn't. Your code is more elegant than the fix: it's clear that you don't want to erase anything if you don't find what you're looking for.

I've committed some changes to trunk, does this solve the problem?

All trunk tests now pass under msvc-8.0, as you can see from last night's test. Good job!
