[Monetdb-developers] usleep not portable

Jennie, you introduced a call to usleep in xrpc_client.mx. How important is that? The problem is, usleep is not portable. For one, it is not a Posix call (use nanosleep instead), and worse (in practice), it's not available on Windows (but neither is nanosleep). On Windows there is Sleep() which takes milliseconds as an argument (unlike sleep which takes seconds, usleep which takes microseconds, and nanosleep which has nanosecond precision). -- Sjoerd Mullender
