At this point I'm seriously considfering your previous suggestion:
Had you considered changing the API so that you don't need the
compatibility wrapper at all? Could you take an integer number of
µS or ms instead of a struct timespec?
Maybe I can define a special struct for exchanging time data as:
struct pps_timedata_s {
long sec;
long nsec;
}
and managing time data conversions at userland...
What do you think about that? :)
Thanks,
Rodolfo
