[Plib-devel] [BUG] Minor bug in ulClock

[<jo...@lu...>]

Hi all,

I think there is a minor bug in ulClock, causing the first reported delta after a reset() to be wrong. Reset basically sets:

    start     = getRawTime () ;
    now       = start ;
    delta     = 1.0 / 30.0 ;  /* Faked so stoopid programs won't div0 */
    last_time = now - delta ;

So basically 'now' and 'last_time' are in 'seconds since epoch'.

But in update():

  now = getRawTime() - start ;
  delta = now - last_time ;
  [...]
  if ( delta <= 0.0 ) delta = 0.0000001 ;
  last_time = now ;

So here 'now' gets set to second since reset() (not since epoch), and delta therefor becomes a huge negative number, which then gets clamped. 'last_time' then gets set to seconds since start, and from then on everything works fine.

Easy solution seems to be to set last_time in reset() to 0.

Best regards,
