1) Is the gettimeofday() function reliable and fast on Solaris? If so,
there really is no need to use gethrtime() here...
On some Linux kernels that I have used gettimeofday() fails
intermittently for reasons other than those listed in the man page.
The code in my_getsystime.c does not check the return value for the
getimeofday() call.
Kind of. It uses the following, possibly infinite loop: :(
uint64_t newtime;
struct timeval t;
/*
The following loop is here because gettimeofday may fail on some
systems
*/
while (gettimeofday(&t, NULL) != 0)
{}
*time_arg= t.tv_sec;
newtime= (uint64_t)t.tv_sec * 1000000 + t.tv_usec;
return newtime;
