Hi Jerry, Thank you for that. It all seems reasonable so I'll commit it more-or-less as you've sent it. There's a problem with SourceForge at the moment so I'm not sure when it will actually get committed.

I'm surprised that you're getting a message about AC_CANONICAL_HOST. I haven't seen anything to suggest it is obsolete. I've left it as it is for the moment.

Regards, David

I would like to propose a patch to PolyML (attached) that uses subsecond time fields in stat structures, when they are available. I think the patch is fairly straightforward.

When I changed configure.ac by adding the AC_CHECK_MEMBERS macro, autoconf started whining at me about AC_CANONICAL_HOST being obsolete. Then it turned out that its replacement, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET, must appear before AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, hence the slight rearrangement of macro calls there. Ignore that part if you like AC_CANONICAL_HOST.

I am not sure of the best place to put the STAT_SECS and STAT_USECS macros. They seemed to me to be somewhat related to other definitions in io_internal.h, but perhaps there is a better place to put them.

Anyway, this is more a proof of concept than a finished product. Feel free to mangle it to your heart's content. I won't be offended. :-)

Regards,
