NowUTC is not any less portable then Now in relevant platforms. My question about clock_gettime was for FPGetTickCount, which indeed is still far from having a proper implementation. > So IMHO, stuff it in fcl-base as "timerutils" or so, let it link to libc, > basta.

This would be useless, both NowUTC and GetTickCount64 are already in lazutils, so I don't see any benefit in moving them to anything in the FCL. But I saw a benefit in moving NowUTC to the RTL because it shares a lot of code with Now, they are nearly identical, so we could avoid duplicated code and because it is a very basic routine. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
