It does not allow waiting up to specific duration of time. That is, one cant say following: boost::condition condVar; condVar.timed_wait( ..., seconds(10) ); On some platforms waiting till the specified time is not the best idea. An example is Windows. A timed_wait can be called to wait till time 10 seconds ahead of current time. But then system clock is rolled back by 3 hours and variable will wait through those 3 hours. }}}" Bugs closed threads None None
