Hi All,
I need some help writing a library for a fedora box.
What I need to do is intercept timer calls, and cache the results that are
within 1ms.
eg: first call, get time. Second call, check if its within 1ms, if so, then
return stored time, else call gettime.

I have an example of such a function for solarice, but I need to have tis
built for fedora.
Could someone write this up for me?
thanks so much!
Chumly


Example:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

/* time in nanoseconds to cache the time system call */
#define DELTA 1000000 /* 1 millisecond */

static time_t (*func) (time_t *);

time_t time(time_t *tloc)
{
static time_t global = 0;
static hrtime_t old = 0;

hrtime_t new = gethrtime();
if(new - old DELTA ){
global = func(tloc);
old = new;
}
return global;
}

#pragma init (init_func)
void init_func()
{
func = (time_t (*) (time_t *)) dlsym (RTLD_NEXT, "time");
if (!func)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Error initializing library\n");
}
}

People in newsgroups may help you, but they will not typically do your
work for you. You may want to describe what you have already tried and
why your example failed.
