Perhaps something like "The returned values may not be monotonic on platforms where a monotonic clock is not available" without mentioning the details of the fallback at all? Also, should this not be squashed into the first patch? -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
