I have another "experimental" version of epiktimer that uses the posix clock_gettime() (instead of fpgettimeofday), which I had to implement myself, because FPC doesn't include a fpXXX call in the unix or baseunix units. clock_gettime() is apparently equivalent to the timing calls of the Windows multi-media timing API's (many references on the internet of this). I just implemented this yesterday, so still need to put it through its paces. But from Michael's first comment in the below bug report, it seems that kernel calls clock_gettime() and gettimeofday() returns the same information - yet the latter is deprecated. So is using fpgettimeofday() at the moment really bad? Based on all this information - no. http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=20604 -- 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
