On Windows I have a problem I never encountered on Unix. That is how to get a thread to sleep for less than one millisecond. On Unix you typically have a number of choices (sleep, usleep and nanosleep) to fit your needs. On Windows, however, there is only Sleep with millisecond granularity.
On Unix, I can use the use the select system call to create a microsecond sleep which is pretty straightforward:
int usleep(long usec){ struct timeval tv; tv.tv_sec = usec/1000000L; tv.tv_usec = usec%1000000L; return select(0, 0, 0, 0, &tv);}How can I achieve the same on Windows?
