> maybe using the timer_create thingy, but it is also undocumented. timer_gettime is async-signal-safe according to POSIX. Perhaps gettimeofday is as well, as a GNU extension. Another option is to spawn a separate thread which handles all the signals. Then you aren't restricted to the small set of async-signal-safe functions (and you can use third-party libraries as well). Most non-C programming environments use this approach. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
