Not all platforms have this, but Sparc, x86/x86_64, s390, ppc, >Itanium, apha,PA-RISC , ARM have some variant - admitted, quite a few >hardware variants don't have a TSC, but that's determinable at runtime >and you could drop back to gettimeofday() to cover those. Great, then using these high-res timers should be definitely considered for the platforms where available (i.e. most common platforms). For any other platform, the gettimeofday can be called. > >It's at least "better" than gettimeofday() for this purpose - i.e. most >of the bits can't be determined from outside the box, it moves faster, >and it's cheaper to read. Agreed.
