How to implement a timer with interruption in C++?

Question

I\'m using the GCC compiler and C++ and I want to make a timer that triggers an interruption when the countdown is 0.

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

An easy, portable way to implement an interrupt timer is using Boost.ASIO. Specifically, the boost::asio::deadline_timer class allows you to specify a time duration and an interrupt handler which will be executed asynchronously when the timer runs out.

See here for a quick tutorial and demonstration.
