Log:
Make ecore_time_get and friends use monotonic clock
Instead of relying on unix time, use a monotonic clock provided by
clock_gettime(). If a monotonic clock is not available, it will fallback
to CLOCK_REALTIME or unix time if neither is available.
The impact is that now it only makes sense to call ecore_time_get() or
ecore_time_loop_get() if the value retrieved is intended to be used as
relative to previous/posterior measurements. If an absolute value is
needed, the right function to call now is ecore_time_unix_get() which
will give the number of seconds since Jan 1st, 1970, 12:00AM.
This is the monotonic clock in svn, and ecore_time_get and
ecore_loop_time_get are properly implemented now. I fixed most of the
cases where they were used when an absolute time was needed. Hopefully
all in EFL are fixed, but since the list is somewhat big, please make
some checks and give it some love.
I fixed a couple of issues in E-MODULES-EXTRA, but I didn't bother to
going through all the modules and fixing them all. If it's not working
and all you want is the previous behavior, just change the calls
ecore_time_get() and ecore_loop_time_get() to ecore_time_unix_get().
I think that before beta we should rename ecore_loop_time_get() to
ecore_time_loop_get() to keep the namespace as the other similar
functions.
i don't think thats possible anymore. thats a very invasive change and LOTS of
code will need to change - outside our own svn, to adapt. i say no to this due
to sheer practical considerations :(
and adding just a #define of this new function and putting a deprecated
warning on the other ?
