Subject: [9fans] APE:sys/time.h: long instead of suseconds_t
Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2021 19:56:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YWhvVJUIEyDscavR@polynum.com> (raw)

As suggested by ori@eigenstate.org, I have used gettimeofday(2) to
achieve what I needed.

But I had to change suseconds_t (in POSIX) to long (in Plan9
ape/include/sys/time.h).

But are all the compilers in Plan9 making long an octabytes, whatever
the arch and the machine? Because a long, if it is a tetra, will never
hold the value...

Furthermore, for portability, there should be a typedef associating
suseconds_t to long (or vlong, if long is not guaranteed to be an
octa).

I'm puzzled by this...

Meanwhile, with this, kerTeX compiles on Plan9 for the dev version...
