Subject: gettime time travels after suspend



I have a running process which prints out the result of gettimeofday()
at regular intervals. If I suspend and resume my machine then the
value returned by gettimeofday() is incorrect - it jumps several days
into the future. Doing the same with time() is fine.

I don't want to point fingers, but I suspect the following 1.3.10
change:
 - Use QueryPerformance* functions for gettimeofday calls. (cgf)

Test case below.

Regards,

- Phil



#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

int main() {
  struct timeval t;
  time_t t2;
  
  while (1) {
    gettimeofday(&t, 0);
    time(&t2);
    printf("gettimeofday() returns %ld %ld\n", t.tv_sec, t.tv_usec);
    printf("time() returns %ld\n", t2);

    sleep(2);
  }
}
