| In my opinion, all of these POSIX calls that take a time argument should | really have been done the same as clock_gettime(), in that you specify | what clock it should be based on. The next version of POSIX will contain pthread_cond_clockwait() which is just like pthread_cond_timedwait() but has a clock_id parameter. | As it is now, it is (or should be according to POSIX) unconditionally | CLOCK_REALTIME. Not sure about the current released standard, and too lazy to look ... but in the coming one that's not true either: The pthread_cond_timedwait() function shall be equivalent to pthread_cond_clockwait(), except that it lacks the clock_id argument. The clock to measure abstime against shall instead come from the condition variable's clock attribute which can be set by pthread_condattr_setclock() prior to the condition variable's creation. If no clock attribute has been set, the default shall be CLOCK_REALTIME. kre
