Is that a function in the RTL? I can't find it.
No, these are platform-specific functions.
g_get_monotonic_time is probably just an alias for the linux/freebsd
unit functions clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW).
g_get_monotonic_time is in glib <
https://docs.gtk.org/glib/func.get_monotonic_time.html>
function g_get_monotonic_time: gint64; cdecl; external;
but it requires a bug fix when using gtk on MacOSX <
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728123>
I wouldn't introduce a dependency for something like GTK (especially GTK!)
on macOS only to receive some timings. Simpler and more straight forward to
just use the correct functions of the OS.
Exactly.
That is why I gave the origins of these functions, instead of
high-level wrappers like g_get_monotonic_time or even epiktimer
(a monstrosity in itself).
Michael.
