Re: [linux-audio-dev] gettimeofday() realtime safe?

(Didn't care about the occasional stalls - which were very few anyway, as this was the only process actually doing anything at the time.) That is, a bunch of gettimeofday() calls for each loop, times 10 kHz. Worked just fine. This was on a 300 MHz low power Pentium clone, which has about 10-15% of the power of a 1 GHz P-III CPU. I'm not even sure if Linux is using RDTSC for gettimeofday() on this thing... //David Olofson - Programmer, Composer, Open Source Advocate .- Audiality -----------------------------------------------. | Free/Open Source audio engine for games and multimedia. | | MIDI, modular synthesis, real time effects, scripting,... | `-----------------------------------> http://audiality.org -' --- http://olofson.net --- http://www.reologica.se ---
