Hello, I'd like to ask why Sleep() function in unix world uses Select() instead of fpNanoSleep()? Is there a particular reason? After a somewhat riggid discussion on the channel yesterday I came up testing threading using sleep() and nanosleep(). The difference in speed is huge. I'm prepared to make a patch for Sleep() to use NanoSleep but I'd like to know if there are any reasons again such approach.
There is no reason against this, except that I'm not sure fpNanoSleep() exists on all platforms. Select() does. Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
