You can assign a new ptime: ptime p = microsec_clock::local_time(); //.... some code p = microsec_clock::local_time(); Or, if you use any ptr to ptime: *p = ....; 2008/9/10 Ryan McConnehey <mccorywork@gmail.com>:

Hi,

Currently I'm creating a boost date_time object as follows:

boost::shared_ptr<boost::posix_time::ptime> time(new boost::posix_time::ptime(boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::local_time()));

Now that the ptime object has been created how do I update the boost pointer with a new local_time? There doesn't seem to be any function calls or operators that allow the setting of time. The only operators seem to allow you to offset the time not replace it.
