Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #6340: Doc should mention that the "absolute time" used by timed_lock is UTC https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6340 <p> In interprocess scoped_lock allows an "absolute time" to be specified. The doc should mention that this "absolute time" is UTC and not local time, since it is much more natural to assume a local time value. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6340 Trac 1.4.3 Ion Gaztañaga Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:04:50 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6340#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6340#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> Thanks for the report.
