Can anybody confirm that Solaris really doesn't have time stamps? I thought we decided that all modern OSes did. That's why we could rip out the SIGIO stuff.
I took a quick google and couldn't find any mention of anything that looked like a time stamp in a Solaris man page for setsockopt. But some of the stuff I was looking at was surprisingly old. If Solaris doesn't support time stamps, I would expect ntp_packetstamp to die on a #error. What happened with it? If it does support time stamps, how are we supposed to read them? There are a bunch of CMSG macros over in ntp_packetstamp. They are useless without those missing symbols so it should have barfed there too. > So the fix is prolly to revert Commit a893edc7fa5fdf05b7558c46b2e83db9c7a0881 > b. I think we should try to go forward. That commit made time stamps work in most other OSes. I think we really want that. The rest of the code is somewhat prepared for this. If an OS doesn't support time stamps, we can go back to using the time-after-select without a lot of work. I think we want to document which OSes are broken. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
