#include <unistd.h>
main()
{
int loop;
for (loop=0; loop<=20; loop++) {
printf("%10d\n",loop); // These print with a delay
usleep(11264);
}
printf("%s\n","----------------------------------");
for (loop=0; loop<=20; loop++) {
printf("%10d\n",loop); // These print with no delay!!!!
usleep(11263);
}
}
}This is not a bug: `usleep' uses `clock' internally, and so has only 55-msec granularity. Since `clock' reports the timer tick count with a scale factor of 5, any argument to `usleep' that is less than 11 msec will result in no sleep at all, and anything less than 55 msec will sometimes sleep for 55 msec and sometimes for less. A note in this spirit wass added in WIP and will be in v2.03.
