fix as much time-related issues as possible and improve the QOI #162

Closed viboes closed 6 years ago

viboes commented 6 years ago

Some time-related functions doesn't work when the system-time backs and forwards the system clock (the return result is not correct in some cases).

In addition the timeout is not as close as it could be.

We have a branch (https://github.com/boostorg/thread/pull/142) for fixing these issues where

we have created some internal monotonic clock that help to provide some functionalities that were not possible without, and *in addition, to improve the QOI, we pool when the platform doesn't provide a monotonic interface.
