Yeap, I want to gets rid of any reference to POSIX interfaces, as I am writing code shared between windows and linux or even more platforms(with or without posix support), And I am implementing timespec_get in mesa code base to avoid waiting c23 or future c2x to be implemented by c standard library provider, currently for mesa's special usage, We need access to CLOCK_REALTIME CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, so the equivalent TIME_UTC, TIME_MONOTONIC, TIME_MONOTONIC_RAW in Cx standard is good. > > Then to know if a fallback to `CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW` is sensible, you > would have to inspect for which clocks the current function is really > used and if fallback is even needed in real life. > > Jₑₙₛ > > -- > :: INRIA Nancy Grand Est ::: Camus ::::::: ICube/ICPS ::: > :: :::::::::::::::::::::: gsm France : +33 651400183 :: > :: ::::::::::::::: gsm international : +49 15737185122 :: > :: http://icube-icps.unistra.fr/index.php/Jens_Gustedt :: -- 此致 礼 罗勇刚 Yours sincerely, Yonggang Luo
