Hi prain,<br />
<br />
sorry, I understand that you don't like the answer I wrote because you hoped it's possible to let another thread sleep this way, but that doesn't mean the answer is not correct.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the only correct answer to a question unfortunateley is &quot;No&quot; or &quot;That's not possible&quot;.<br />
<br />
Therefore I'm against deleting this question.<br />

Hi prain,

sorry, I understand that you don't like the answer I wrote because you hoped it's possible to let another thread sleep this way, but that doesn't mean the answer is not correct.

Sometimes the only correct answer to a question unfortunateley is "No" or "That's not possible".

Therefore I'm against deleting this question.

I am having a wrapper thread class that wraps boost::thread instance to create a thread.

If mThread is the boost::thread, why is that

  void Thread::sleep(long milliseconds) 
    {
      mThread->sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(milliseconds)); 
    }  

does not work. I have seen couple of examples like this onthe net. Can someone help?

boost::thread::sleep() question

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
