Hi all;
It doesn't seem that autoconf has any macros that provide for sub-second
timers. Is there any agreed-upon standard for managing this? Is
setitimer() the most portable option for sub-second timestamps? Are
there known portability issues with it?
Should I check for usleep() if setitimer doesn't exist? What about
nanosleep()? I expect many systems would need to realtime library
(-lrt) linked to use nanosleep()? Or not?
Any info appreciated!
