I'm writing a program that will read medical signs
from many patients. It's important to have a precise
measure of the time interval between some signs, and
that can't depend on adjustments of time. (Supose
my software is running midnight at the end of a year
with leap seconds. I would get wrong time intervals.)


What precision do you need?

On a recent POSIX platform you can use the real time clock:
http://linux.die.net/man/2/clock_gettime
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/clock_getres.html

CLOCK_MONOTONIC is what you need.
