Please stop spreading FUD!
> - dependency on LCL I have fixed this well over a year or two ago. The only LCL dependency was the registration of the EpikTimer component on the Lazarus component palette. I simply split the original lazarus package into two packages (runtime and design-time) - that was all that was required. Hardly a LCL dependency! > - Now() used on non-i386 my trust in such a component instantly went below > zero. Someone who writes code like that clearly has no clue. I just did a grep search for Now() calls, and found a whopping ONE result - used as a "wall clock" feature, giving the current time of day. This function is NOT used for any of the timing functionality at all! As I said before: EpikTimer under Windows using the Multimedia API for high precision timing: QueryPerformanceCounter(). Under ALL other platforms, it uses the fpgettimeofday() call implemented in FPC > And as far as I remember, I sent you a corrected version ? I remember this the other way round, but that's not important. I'll gladly send you my version of EpikTimer if you want to double check, but really, stop spreading FUD about this component. The mailing lists are full of your badmouth comments every time EpikTimer is mentioned. Just for for clarity, I checked out the latest EpikTimer from Lazarus CCR's subversion repository (I believe this to be the official home for EpikTimer). There are very few differences compared to my copy. My copy has the following change: - 3 line of code changed in the TEpikTimer.SystemSleep() for 32-bit non-Windows systems. Basicaly just using the Sleep() call as defined in FPC. So in fact the whole lot of IFDEF's in TEpikTimer.SystemSleep() can be removed because all platforms now use the same code. So please checkout the following code to make sure you use the latest EpikTimer. svn co https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-ccr/components/epiktimer/ -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
