4. Time+sleeping are hard sleep(), usleep(), nanosleep() gettimeofday(), gmtime(), localtime() Please don't men-on all those NTP kludges and Erlang monotonic -me implementa-on complexi-es for maintaining the monotonic increase characteris-cs of the internal -me measurement. Thank you. Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 4
5. Newer func*ons in Linux clock_gettime() clock_nanosleep() They are even defined in POSIX! Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 5
6. Status on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 • clock_gettime(): defined since macOS Sierra 10.12 SDK • clock_nanosleep(): s6ll undefined • So I need to build my own equivalent func6on to subs6tute clock_nanosleep() • macOS uses mach_absolute_time(), mach_wait_until(), mach_timebase_info(), etc., defined in <mach/mach_time.h> Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 6
7. Why I needed clock_nanosleep()? • For dump1090, an ADS-B decoding so:ware • ADS-B: See FlightRadar24, FlightAware, etc. • When dump1090 retrieves radiowave signals from a recorded file, it uses clock_gettime() and clock_nanosleep() Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 7

9. I found a reference implementa1on of emulated clock_nanosleep() in Time::Hires of Perl CPAN Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 9
10. CPAN Time::Hires # High resolution alarm, sleep, gettimeofday, interval timers # which consist of the system call and library function wrappers use Time::HiRes qw( clock_gettime clock_getres clock_nanosleep ITIMER_REAL ITIMER_VIRTUAL ITIMER_PROF ITIMER_REALPROF ); $realtime = clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME); $resolution = clock_getres(CLOCK_REALTIME); clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME, 1.5e9); clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME, time()*1e9 + 10e9, TIMER_ABSTIME); Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 10
11. Time::Hires has the C code for emula0ng clock_nanosleep() for macOS! 1 #ifdef TIME_HIRES_CLOCK_NANOSLEEP_EMULATION static int th_clock_nanosleep(clockid_t clock_id, int flags, const struct timespec *rqtp, struct timespec *rmtp) { if (darwin_time_init()) { switch (clock_id) { case CLOCK_REALTIME: case CLOCK_MONOTONIC: // Refer to the original code for the further information 1 h$ps:/ /metacpan.org/source/ATOOMIC/Time-HiRes-1.9760/HiRes.xs Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 11
12. Por$ng the Time::Hires code to dump1090 worked! 2 • Tested by dump1090 --ifile test.bin • Worked the same as in Linux 2 h$ps:/ /github.com/jj1bdx/dump1090/commit/ba0b63ee1eab28e42c61d9005eadd036503d2bd7 Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 12
13. Lessons learned Standards change Learn new system calls and library func3ons Perl CPAN has many valuable code jewels Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 13
14. Thank you Ques%ons? Kenji Rikitake / Kichijoji.pm 19 14
