I don't know if this has been discussed already, but I was thinking of the following alternatives : 1. how about the listener thread in each of the child process keeps updating a global time variable that each of the threads can refer to ?. 2. set the time at the begining of the process, and then each of the thread measures the amount of time it has been running.. (Current time = startup time + delta time).. AFAIK, the time taken to compute delta time is much lesser than gettimeofday..
Is this against the spec or something ?. -Madhu -----Original Message----- From: Greg Ames [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 11:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: gettimeofday calls MATHIHALLI,MADHUSUDAN (HP-Cupertino,ex1) wrote: > The following is the tusc output of httpd (2.0.43) + mod_specweb99.c > on HP-UX..

The GET /file_set/* requests are just plain ol' static files served by the httpd core, so I think the gettimeofday is due to: r->request_time = apr_time_now(); ...line 681 from server/protocol.c. I don't see that going away in the near future. OTOH, the GET /?/file_set/* is a dynamic request served by mod_specweb99. The three time() syscalls there bother me. I'm guessing that this request had a cookie which drives do_cadget() and friends. Looking at code in that path I do see three different time calls. One of them will go away if you select a quieter LogLevel...you probably have "Found ad <blah> expire <yes/no> <timestamp>" messages in your error log. Off the top of my head, we could probably change mod_specweb99 to use r->request_time in place of the time() syscalls and make it a little faster. But then we will have to take into account the difference between apr_time_t's and seconds. :-( Greg > > {72114} poll(0x6fd88910, 1, 120000) ...................... = 1 > {72114} read(149, "G E T / ? / f i l e _ s e t / ".., 8000) = 159 > {72114} gettimeofday(0x6fd88448, NULL) ................... = 0 > {72114} time(NULL) ....................................... = 1043344112 > {72114} time(NULL) ....................................... = 1043344112 > {72114} time(NULL) ....................................... = 1043344112 > {72114} stat("/opt/apache2/htdocs//file_set/dir00016/class1_8", 0x6fd885c8) > = 0 > {72114} open("/opt/apache2/htdocs//file_set/dir00016/class1_8", O_RDONLY, > 0666) > = 43 > {72114} read(43, " 9 2 1 6 f i l e _ s ".., 9216) = 9216 > {72114} writev(149, 0x6fd88988, 4) ....................... = 9803 > {72114} read(149, 0x40288078, 8000) ......................
