Hi there!!!
Need your help in solving some tricky problems.
Since clock() as such is buggy on SUN OS 5 we have started using gettimeofday() in our RTOS applications based on Solaris 9.
The problems we actually encountered previously were - the applications kind of freeze/hang eternally on some Solaris hosts(Sun Fire V215). The problem is as such inconsitent both with respect to frequency & also host type.
Using gettimeofday() has solved us these inconsitent freezing problems
on various hosts(Sun-Fire-V215, SUN Blade).
So far so good .
But sadly, those same old problems are recurring on Sun-Fire-V445 machines!!!
Now, the question!
Do you have any idea if we have any specific version of clock that can be used on Sun-Fire_V445?
My idea was that clock() & the patches/problems there off are basically dependant on OS version & the processor type should not really matter.
But it keeps me surprised that, using original buggy clock() works on V445.
So we need a common solution that works on all hosts.
Your help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to your answers!
Please let me know if you need further information, if I was not specific anywhere.
