The <a class="link" href="basic_waitable_timer.html" title="basic_waitable_timer"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">basic_waitable_timer</span></code></a>
class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous
wait for a timer to expire.
</p>
<p>
A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not
expired". If the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">wait</span><span class="special">()</span></code> or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">async_wait</span><span class="special">()</span></code> function is called on an expired timer,
the wait operation will complete immediately.
</p>
<p>

Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous
waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action
associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this:
