G'day, Last week I posted a message to a NetBSD mailing list concerning their definition of timespec. I should have sent the same message to FreeBSD, so here it is... For some time I've been annoyed by the FreeBSD definition of timespec (which uses ts_sec and ts_nsec where other systems use tv_sec and tv_nsec). We use timespec a lot and I'm tired of doing... #ifdef __FreeBSD__ code for non-standard timespec #else code for standard timespec #endif The FreeBSD <sys/time.h> header file refers to POSIX 1003.4 which has been replaced by POSIX 1003.1b-1993. Section 14.1.1 says that timespec includes at least tv_sec and tv_nsec and implementations may add extensions. The feedback I get from NetBSD is that their change will happen RSN. Can someone please make the change to FreeBSD too?
