Okay. So what do you think about changing the value in param.h from 1024, so that it matches the new common value of 250, or is it best just to leave it at 1024 and let applications that use it get the wrong result?
In my opinion, HZ needs to be a constant, since otherwise you could break perfectly fine existing code (e.g., code which statically initializes a variable with HZ and then picks up the correct frequency from sysconf) and if you have to pick a particular constant, it seems reasonable to me to pick the most commonly used frequency (which appears to be 250Hz at the moment). --david -- Mosberger Consulting LLC, http://www.mosberger-consulting.com/ - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
