Hi all, we've started to use CTest for our test running and it's generally running well.
However, we sometimes get some odd timeouts in tests, and as such it has been noticed that ctest doesn't use monotonic test timers, but instead relies on gettimeofday(). When running on some of our devices, they start up thinking that it is the year 2000 but during the test run, NTP kicks in, and fast forwards the time to be 2017. Using gettimeofday(), a test running during this NTP operation would seem to have taken 17 years. To avoid this, it's possible to use monotonic timers instead using clock_gettime(). Is there any reason to not use this? I've raised a bug* with a proposed patch.
