[asio-users] MSVC++ 13 broken std::chrono impl

[Adam C. <jad...@au...>]

Hi All,

I'm using the ASIO_STANDALONE w/ C++11 in the library I support.

One of my users recently noticing that timers were going haywire on Windows
when the system clock changed. I was very surprised because we use the
following internally:

asio::basic_waitable_timer< std::chrono::steady_clock >

Apparently, Microsoft has a crappy implementation of steady clock in MSVC
13:

I have been unable to find definitive info for when/if this has been fixed
in a CTP or patch. Has anyone else run into this? Do you have a workaround
that doesn't involve falling back on boost::chrono::steady_clock?

-Adam
