- Subject: sub msec sleep/timers
Pierre, are you or anyone else planning on enhancing
nanosleep/usleep/itimer functions, etc. to sub msec accuracy?
It looks like it could be done via [Create|Open|Set|Cancel]WaitableTimer,
at least on >= 98. Would this be an acceptable enhancement for >= 98
systems via a wincap test or the like?
If so, and no one is working on it, I may take a shot. We have in-house
vis-sim apps that could really benefit from sub msec accuracy/scheduling.
If anyone has looked at this before and has tips/pointers/"you can't do
that", etc., please let me know. I am quite new to Windows programming.
Thanks.
