Hi Compiler Developers, foreword: please forgive if this is too low-level etc or if I don't understand it enough ;)
Since I'm glancing over lkml sometimes, I couldn't help but notice an announcement by Stefani Seibold, that a fast, reliable userspace timestamp function(s) are on the process to land in the Linux kernel. The mechanism is said to be using VDSO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDSO sorry for wikipedia link... so lame I had to look it up ;) ) This being targeted to the 'development' kernel(s) so far, may be a bit off the charts, (but then the announcement says x86_64 has it already in glibc) any chances FPC could make use of it when it actually lands in user-visible configurations? See the announcement here http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=1391413721%2d17148%2d1%2dgit%2dsend%2demail%2dstefani%40seibold.net Curiously, -L. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
