Bug ID: 66574
Summary: Time is provided in millisecond precision instead of
nanoseconds as described in go documentation
Product: gcc
Version: 5.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: go

testcase demonstrating microsecond precision of time.Now()
According to http://golang.org/pkg/time/#Time
A Time represents an instant in time with nanosecond precision.
The precision provided by gccgo when calling time.Now() is in microseconds, not
nanoseconds, since it invokes gettimeofday to retrieve the time. If
clock_gettime was called instead, that would provide nanosecond precision.
A testcase is attached.
