Are there any known issues with this sort of thing fpGetTimeOfDay
(@TimeVal, nil) on various platforms? FPC 2.6.4 and 2.7.1 seem to be OK
on x86, but on x64 (and FWIW SPARC, haven't tested others) it appears to
be returning a fixed TimeVal plus a result of zero even if there are
several seconds between calls.
My FreeBSD manpage says:
... If tp or tzp is NULL, the associated time
information will not be returned or set.
The Linux manpage words it differently:
If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not set or
returned. (However, compilation warnings will result if tv is NULL.)
The funny thing is that the snippet of code that I'm using was
contributed by you, and that it works fine on multiple versions of x86
kernel.
