The adjusted scheduled time to run, TS, would be TS = (TC + (Ts - Ta)) == Ts + (TC - Ta) so the adjustment is (TC - Ta) :-) > Actually, depending on the OS, we might be able to do better. > According to the man page, select may update the passed time val with > the time remaining had an event not woken up the process.

It would also mean that we forces the user to use select, not pselect, poll, epoll or anything else, and since this is a public interface in the library I think that would be bad. > But we'd have to make sure the everywhere in the code base is updated > to track this. /MF ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
