The group of functions and macros are all from the Timer subset of POSIX.1-2003, which is optional, but become part of the C extensions definition that is mandatory in POSIX.1-2008. From what I gather, OS X has the functionality to support the following clock_ids under the POSIX definition: CLOCK_MONOTONIC CLOCK_REALTIME _POSIX_CPUTIME _POSIX_THREAD_CPUTIME All of these have microsecond resolution, and some have nanosecond resolution. The problem is largely that OS X doesn't present the functionality through POSIX interfaces, but the information necessary to roll your own can be gleaned from documentation and the open source parts of Darwin. I'm not the first person to notice this, and there appear to be a few places where people have implemented at least parts of these interfaces as wrappers. So the first question is whether anyone knows if Lion is meant to be POSIX.1-2008 compliant, such that there should be a clean way to support this on a POSIX-compliant, Apple-provided interface going forward. I don't know the history in FreeBSD, but the functions are present there now as system calls, which might be an indication that these functions will be ported as OS X is updated against FreeBSD before there's even a question of POSIX. Looking backwards: as far as porting to Leopard and Snow Leopard, can anyone recommend an existing set of wrappers for the subset of functionality previously identified? I hope I'm not rehashing previous discussions. I did some googling, and the only thing I got was references to others writing wrappers and various bits of POSIX.1 definitions, which I've attempted to summarise above.
