Re: Patch to have clock_gettime(CLOCK_CPUTIME_ID) return ENOENT ifHP timing is unreliable
Well, it would have been nice to get responses on the subject matter
rather than a threat. I was certainly only trying to help.
I still have no answer as to why it is acceptable for
clock_gettime(CLOCK_CPUTIME_ID) to return unreliable data.
Is it that applications should not rely on
clock_gettime(CLOCK_CPUTIME_ID) if clock_getclockcpuid() returns
ENOENT? If so is that documented somewhere?
