clock() wraps every 36 minutes on 32-bit systems *sigh* What would work is CLOCK_MONOTONIC (if supported). But that requires a lot of *thinking* about the sense of the old code one is working on. Suppose one wanted to audit as little as possible - ? BTW within Linux headers.... #define CLOCKS_PER_SEC 1000000l #define __SLONGWORD_TYPE long int #define __CLOCK_T_TYPE __SLONGWORD_TYPE __STD_TYPE __CLOCK_T_TYPE __clock_t; typedef __clock_t clock_t; extern clock_t clock (void) __THROW; -paul _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
