Hi, I'm not sure if you mean the timers I was on about earlier. If so, http://linux.die.net/man/3/clock_gettime
Sufficiently recent versions of GNU libc and the Linux kernel support the following clocks: ... *CLOCK_MONOTONIC* Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since some unspecified starting point. Although re-reading that now, I might have applied wishful thinking to my interpretation. regards, Martin On 19 August 2010 16:13, Benjamin Reed <br...@yahoo-inc.com> wrote: > do you have a pointer to those timers? > > thanx > ben > > > On 08/18/2010 11:58 PM, Martin Waite wrote: > >> On Linux, I believe that there is a class of timers >> provided that is immune to this, but I doubt that there is a platform >> independent way of coping with this. >> >> > >
