Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #7501: Decouple from time libraries https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7501 <p> In order to support more time libraries like Boost.<a class="missing wiki">DateTime</a> and Boost.Chrono (e.g. std::chrono from C++11) and reduce library dependencies it is suggested to decouple Boost.Thread from Boost.<a class="missing wiki">DateTime</a> and Boost.Chrono and introduce an abstraction layer for time units. Having done that, Boost.Thread should not depend on any time library, neither when being built nor when being used, except for its time-related features. The integration layer should include support for Boost.<a class="missing wiki">DateTime</a>, Boost.Chrono and std::chrono. </p> <p> The topic has been brought up in this thread: </p> <p> <a class="ext-link" href="http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3cCAEhD%2b6ChDeUDDkrLfxP0v5jsxqWAAX1f641J%3dnLcCF8an%5fU13A%40mail.gmail.com%3e"><span class="icon">​</span>http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3cCAEhD%2b6ChDeUDDkrLfxP0v5jsxqWAAX1f641J%3dnLcCF8an%5fU13A%40mail.gmail.com%3e</a> </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7501 Trac 1.4.3 viboes Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:34:42 GMT type changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7501#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7501#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>type</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Tasks</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Feature Requests</span> </li> </ul> Ticket viboes Thu, 19 Sep 2013 18:27:14 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7501#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7501#comment:2 <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">wontfix</span> </li> </ul> <p> I will take this in account once it is provided by Boost.Sync. </p> Ticket
