Hi,

We need to setup a 1 millisecond periodic timer used in a real-time (time constraint) thread in a pure C console program. We first tried to use the carbon Timer manager API (with NewTimerUPP and a timeManagerTask ...) but without being able to access the thread that call the timer task in order to setup its scheduling property to be "time constraint". We try also low-level function like mach_wait_until but had problems on Panther.

What is the recommended way (API...) to implement a timer?

Thanks

Stephane Letz
