Nevertheless, Now() is the only portable construct available.
Multiply it with msecsperday and round to int64 if you need an
integer value.
What about non-portable, e.g. unix-only? I don't see anything obvious
in the BaseUnix documentation.
That's because there is nothing. Most platforms support get_clock() but
in FPC this is linux-only, as far as I know.
Thanks, I'll investigate.
I'm sure there's something in EpikTimer I could use, but I'm trying to
keep things fairly lean.
Last time I looked, EpikTimer used Now() on Unixes, definitely if you
were not on intel platforms. But maybe the situation has improved
meanwhile, you would need to check the code.
OK, I'll look at that presently. My recollection is that it ran OK on
Linux SPARC etc. (although I didn't check /how/ it ran IYSWIM) but not
on Solaris SPARC.
