Hi Factor List, I've been doing some code profiling that requires a microsecond timer (measuring the accumulated time spent in words that take less than a millisecond for each invocation). To handle this on my 32bit linux box I used the following:
FUNCTION: int gettimeofday ( void* TP, void* TZP ) ; : micros ( -- n ) 8 <byte-array> dup f gettimeofday drop 2 c-ulong-array> first2 [ 1000000 * ] dip + ; ...which obviously isn't portable. Looking at the source in os_unix.c and os_windows*.c it looks like the timers on all the platforms are of microsecond precision so I was wondering whether there was any objection to me putting a 'micros' primitive in the vm? (Actually I'm guessing that probably I don't know what I'm talking about and that there's a good reason why only 'millis' exists in factor) Cheers, Phil ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
