Re: [Dev-C++] Sleep / for specified time delay :( ?

[Frederico M. <the...@ho...>]

Hi Robert ;)    Even though you are right, as those are the best aproches to the specified problem, thoses solutions have already been presented to the member(Sleep at least was).    I find it improbable that the person who asked the original question hadn't  already tried thoses solutions.       In regarding with your rules, the Posix/SO especific function if far better than the implementation I presented as, I do understand that my implementation is wastefull. It spends to many cicles resolving the same equation to determine the elapsed time.    But also I must say I am unaware of POSIX timer functions implemented in windows. If you know, please let me know, as it would be usefull for me as well.     In relation to the original poster, I understood that the resulting binary application must run in win95/MS-DOS. If so, Sleep/SleepEx, the SO native functions are not usefull, because Sleep was implemented in win2000.    Probably there are similar functions that I am unaware, that were implemented back in Win95 time, but I was unable to find information at this time. 
   With that being said, however, my intention was not to present the snippet as the best aproche, only as one of many.     But, in regarding with rule 1, I don't see why you cannot implement the same class, only modifying where is needed.  ( Eg.: the function pair timeout ()/wait(). )   
Thank you for the constructive criticism, nonetheless ^^
