Thread: Timer function library for Linux and Windows

If you intend to write a GPL-licensed, opensource and multiplatform program in C or C++ and you want to use a timer, look here:

Timer function code for Linux and Windows

With this library, you can use GCC on Linux and MinGW on windows to use a timer without the need to make any changes in your sourcecode.

Regards.

Or you could just use the built-in functions?

Either way, why is this under the Linux dev board?

It uses the built-in functions. It calls the respective Linux or windows api depending to the platform in use.
The reason I posted this, is that there are always new novice-programmers which are struggling with this and
are trying to invent the wheel again.

My misstake, I posted it in the wrong board. Is there a way to move this thread?

I tend to avoid GPL due to viral licensing issues.

I avoid those issues by applying the GPL-licence to all my software.
