The sleep function should count seconds. That is the standard. The delay function is used to wait milli-seconds.

To: dev...@li... cc: (bcc: Jonathan Murray/Edgars/ZA) Subject: Re: [Dev-C++] Sleep function not working properly It doesn't count seconds, it counts milliseconds (?). 1000 = 1 second :) *Jemini* ~Jay~ ----- Original Message ----- From: <JM...@ed...> To: <dev...@li...> Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2000 5:10 AM Subject: [Dev-C++] Sleep function not working properly Hello, I have just started using Dev-C++ and notice that when I call the sleep function in my programs, it does not halt execution for the given amount of seconds. I have experimented with very large timeframes (eg. 2000 seconds) and sleep starts to work. But 2000 seconds causes a wait of about 2 seconds. I am doing DOS console programs in C and then running them under Windows 95. Any ideas?

On my machine, sleep(5000) causes a wait of 5 seconds (or 5000 milli-seconds if you like). But the argument to the sleep function is supposed to be in seconds NOT milli-seconds. The delay function, by standards, is for milli-second waits. "Jay Silverman" <jas...@at...> on 04/10/2000 11:48:40 AM Please respond to dev...@li...

I am not programming windows applications yet, but what is that "standard" which says that sleep() had to be in seconds?

All Unix compilers I have ever worked with as well as Borland's Turbo C compiler implements the sleep function in seconds. Why is Dev-C++ different?

Basically, Dev-C++ is the editor. The compiler of Dev-C++ is the mingw32 compiler (the gcc port for windows). Ioannis _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It's not different. GCC is THE standard C/C++ compiler for several places. It has been used in numerous free and commercial projects. Is the sleep() function defined in the standard library? If so, that may be where the "problem" lies. I have noticed several changes over the past few months to libstdc++, which is supposed to be the implementation of the standard C++ library.

I'm just starting with C++ and Dev C++ but if you think that the GNU compiler is not ANSI compliant you might want to look at: http://gcc.gnu.org/ If there is a bug you should report it.

a jiffy is 1/100 second, a millisecond is 1/1000 second, so 1 jiffy = 10 milliseconds.
