Hi,
Attached is a proposed mod to enable monotonic Timer's on Windows and *unix.
[snipped windows solution]
Non-Windows
=========
* _RESIP_POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK enables the __NR_clock_gettime call. Note
that on some systems even if _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK is defined
__NR_clock_gettime may not be, or may require another library (librt?).
Some improvement in enabling this could probably be done in the build
scripts.
Why use _NR_clock_gettime? just use clock_gettime.
To get monotonic time from clock_gettime, you have to call it with CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
To
enable the monotonic clock, I suggest to check for CLOCK_MONOTONIC. On
the platforms I used it, ether CLOCK_MONOTONIC is not available (arm,
crosstool toochain), or _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK is not defined, but
CLOCK_MONOTONIC is (Ubuntu 8.04).
To use the monotonic clock, you have to link with librt (-lrt).
Mac OS X
======
You need to use UpTime() call in DriverServices.h or the routines in <mach/mach_time.h>
