Re: [Dev-C++] sleep() for Windows XP

[Adam J. <aj...@i-...>]

Just in case you are interested, here is a platfrom independent way to =
cause
your program to sleep without using sleep() or MS version Sleep(). It =
also
avoids preprocessors commands.

#include <time.h>

Int main()
{

    unsigned int clockTicks;				//Stores the amount
of time you want to pause execution in clock ticks
    clock_t ticksReached;				//Stores the amount
of clock ticks

    clockTicks =3D 3000;				//set pause to 3 seconds
    ticksReached =3D clockTicks + clock();        	//get number of
clocks tick since program started then add the addition wait time
    while (ticksReached > clock());		//loop until current clock
ticks equal the ticks needed to wait

   return 0;
}

It is more code, but it is platfrom independent and free of preprocessor
commands.....

Why do you feel the need to cause your program to sleep(). There may be
other ways of pausing executive without using a platform dependent =
command.
Or using #defines. If you could provide more details, that may be =
helpful.

Using GCC, I developed some small apps under Linux, now I am trying to =
port
this apps to MSWinXP, but there are some Unix functions that are not
available=A0under MS, sleep() is one of them. Does anyone know where I =
can
find a source code for such service, so that it is=A0a portable sleep()
function?
