Subject: Use monotonic clock to prevent timing issues
X-Git-Url: https://jasonwoof.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5edeec1b20fcb5900d4f1408594d1e76b6c544f0;hp=5edeec1b20fcb5900d4f1408594d1e76b6c544f0;p=st.git

Use monotonic clock to prevent timing issues

This patch replaces the gettimeofday()/timeval-system with
uses of clock_gettime() with a monolithic clock and timespec-structs.
gettimeofday() is not accurate and prone to jumps and POSIX.1-2008
marks it as obsolete. Read more here [0].

The patch should speak for itself and decreases the binary
size for me by almost 200K(!).
