From: FRIGN Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2014 14:51:51 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Use monotonic clock to prevent timing issues X-Git-Url: https://git.danieliu.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5edeec1b20fcb5900d4f1408594d1e76b6c544f0;p=st.git Use monotonic clock to prevent timing issues This patch replaces the gettimeofday()/timeval-system with uses of clock_gettime() with a monolithic clock and timespec-structs. gettimeofday() is not accurate and prone to jumps and POSIX.1-2008 marks it as obsolete. Read more here [0]. The patch should speak for itself and decreases the binary size for me by almost 200K(!).
