Jean Brouwers <mrje...@gmail.com> added the comment: Another thought on the hires timer to make the hires time and hires time units available as 2 other functions in the time module.
For example, function time.ticks() returns the hires time stamp as an int. Function time.ticks2secs(t) converts a given number of ticks to seconds. To avoid duplicating the hires time code in both the time and profile modules, it would be necessary to move the hpTimer and hpTimerUnit functions to some place inside the Python core accessible for the time and profile modules. Perhaps to a new file, say Python/gethptime.c. That new file can handle other platform-specific idiosyncrasies with respect to hires time. In particular, it could implement a different (and better) way to determine the resolution of a hires tick, e.g. on Linux and BSD Unix. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2281> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
