I use pthread_getcpuclockid() in a "watch-dog" pthread to one side of
a pthreaded application.

With FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Jan  3 07:46:30 UTC 2012 the result
is a little disappointing.  The clock_id returned is the same for all
thread_ids, and is CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID.  So, instead of reading
the cpu time for each pthread, clock_gettime() in the watch-dog
pthread reads its own cpu time :-(

This is not quite what POSIX lead me to hope for.

Is there something more modern I should be using ?

Chris
