Feature Request: Add support for monotonic/steady_clock timeouts #182

Closed davidsj2 closed 3 months ago

davidsj2 commented 2 years ago

Current synchronization objects use absolute time for timeouts, which are susceptible to unexpected behavior in the face of clock adjustments. It would be nice to support relative timeouts using monotonic clock in interprocess condition variables and mutexes like is supported in POSIX and the C++ standard lib (generally), respectively.

From Version 1.78 already supports relative timeouts (e.g. try_lock_for):

Isn't that what you are requesting?

Closing the issue as completed.
