I'll look at that, but I'm not thrilled at the propect of complicating the code paths so much. There may be systems where CLOCK_MONOTONIC is unavailable, others where pthread_condattr_setclock() is unsupported, etc. > The code won't get more complicated if you refactor the time > querying logic into a separate function (which the compiler can then > inline as necessary). It does get more complicated, since there are several paths (clock_gettime() and then a fallback on gettimeofday()). I'm not talking about complexity in the executable but about maintenance complexity. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7753> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
