Bugs with clock()

Hi there!!! Need your help in solving some tricky problems. Since clock() as such is buggy on SUN OS 5 we have started using gettimeofday() in our RTOS applications based on Solaris 9. The problems we actually encountered previously were - the applications kind of freeze/hang eternally on...

Clock doesn't tick

This is a strange one, I've never seen anything like it; the realtime clock doesn't tick while the computer's idle, only when you're watching it. Leave for 3 hours and it'll be 3 hours off. It still advances when it's off however, or the time would be far more incorrect than it is. About all...

NAME

       clock - report CPU time used

SYNOPSIS

       #include <time.h>

       clock_t clock(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The clock() function returns the amount of CPU time (in microseconds) used since the first call to clock() in the calling process. The time
       reported is the sum of the user and system times of the calling process and its terminated child processes for which it	has  executed  the
       wait(3C) function, the pclose(3C) function, or the system(3C) function.

RETURN VALUES

       Dividing  the  value returned by clock() by the constant CLOCKS_PER_SEC, defined in the <time.h> header, will give the time in seconds.	If
       the process time used is not available or cannot be  represented, clock returns the value (clock_t) -1.

USAGE

       The value returned by clock() is defined in microseconds for compatibility with systems that have CPU clocks with much  higher  resolution.
       Because of this, the value returned will wrap around after accumulating only 2147 seconds of CPU time (about 36 minutes).

ATTRIBUTES
