Am I correct that Grub's time() function returns the expected Unix time_t value - seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970, UTC? Does Grub's time() function get its value from grub_get_datetime()? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God. Phone: 1-613-726-

What do you think about the following code to get a fairly accurate actual time in milliseconds? I'm thinking of adding it to the Grub part of our timing.c:getCurrentTime() function. static time_t baseSeconds = 0; static uint64_t baseMilliseconds = 0; uint64_t milliseconds = grub_get_time_

Another standard integer macro we use that's missing is UINT32_C. Maybe that whole set of macros (INTn_C,UINTn_C where n=8,16,32,64) could also be defined. So far, it's the U?INTn_MAX and U?INTn_C macros that we're tripping over. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the v
