How to implement autonomous timer (for FRP)?

Hi everyone,

I want to take a shot at implementing a simple framework for functional
reactive programming in Python. (It will be loosely based on a paper I
read about a system called FrTime for DrScheme.) However, I'm not sure
how to go about implementing certain components.

One basic component will be an object representing the current time
(preferably down to, say, 10 ms). This time object should update
itself autonomously. Other objects which somehow depend on the time
object will be kept in a dependency graph, and automatically updated as
the time object updates itself.

I'm not sure what's the best way to implement this time object. I'm
guessing it should run in its own thread, and whenever it updates, it
should update the graph of its dependents in another thread. But
naturally I'd like the timer to be efficient and precise (again, down
to ~10 ms), and I'm not sure what my options are. I'd appreciate any
suggestions.

Thanks and regards,
Aaron

Guys, I have a question regarding oracle. I have a stored procedure executing a number of statements including delete , select and lots of inserts in one big procedure and main transaction I have a stored procedure sp_log_action with a PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION defined which is called after each statement in the main stored procedure(this writes the event to a table).

Hi guys - I have a weird condition here I'm trying to get resolution on, and unfortunately I'm not getting anywhere with my friends at Oracle. I'm hoping it's something simple, or at the very least it's a documented bug that I can simply reference and move on. The following code and session output (I think) documents a condition where a procedure marked for an automomous commit is commiting an INSERT over a database link that is outside...

Hey guys, Here is what I am trying to achieve: I have a grid, and every once in a while the grid will receive a message to add a new row and highlight it (change the backcolor) for five minutes. After the five minutes has passed, unhighlight it. The grid needs to highlight any rows that have arrived in the last five minutes. Here is how I handle this now. Each row has a value indicating its arrival

I just wanted to know whether any timer facility exists in C, as it is not mentioned in K&R 2, or in the ISO Draft. By timer function i mean that when we use standard input function like scanf() or getch() or any other function, the interface stops to take input from user but what if user doesn't give input for hours, the program will still be waiting. Is there any way to circumvent the scanf() (or any other input function for that matter)...
