Getting millisecond elapsed time using Bebbo's Amiga GCC toolchain

[NovaCoder]

Hi,

Wonder if anyone can help.

I need a fast way to tack how much time has passed in my main loop.

I normally use https://www.tutorialspoint.com/c_sta...tion_clock.htm which has a high frequency on the old GCC 3.4 (milliseconds) but in my Bebbo build it seems to be limited to 50fps.

I've hacked together the following code but I'm not really sure it's the best way to do it.

	gettimeofday(&lastFrameTime, NULL);

	while (true) {
		gettimeofday(&currentFrameTime, NULL);

	    double elapsedtime = (currentFrameTime.tv_sec - lastFrameTime.tv_sec) * 1000.0;      // sec to ms
	    elapsedtime += (currentFrameTime.tv_usec - lastFrameTime.tv_usec) / 1000.0;          // us to ms


		// Capture user input and update object positions.
		g_world->updateWorld(elapsedtime / 1000);
		g_world->updateFrame();


		memcpy(&lastFrameTime, &currentFrameTime, sizeof(struct timeval));
	}

Thanks
