OClock Testing Ground

Various experiments on time implementation for OClock.

./configure
make

Clock functions

• Windows
• Unix/Linux
  • clock_gettime family of functions
  • gethrtime family of functions
• MacOS X

Similar docs:

• Python PEP 418

  Says weird things about GetSystemTimeAdjustment. But overall very interesting.

• C/C++ tip: How to measure elapsed real time for benchmarking

Cross-compiling notes

• On ArchLinux, x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc builds with the -pthread flag by default. I don't see the point really here, except that winpthread has some good implementation of clock_gettime. But who really want to get that additional dependency?

  ./configure CFLAGS=-no-pthread # should it be in LDFLAGS?
