Hello All,

I am facing an issue in use of mach_absolute_time().

mach_absolute_time() gives drift even when NTP timing update is on.

                sleep(5);

Your assuming that sleep() provides drift free timing, which it does not - read the man page x-man-page://3/sleep for details.

If you want something closer to a drift free timer, then you need to determine when you want to wake up and use mach_wait_until() or a higher level API to wait until that time.
