ElapsedMilliseconds() returns negative value

[pantsonhead]

I noticed that ElapsedMilliseconds() returns negative value in OSX but not on my PC.
Is it a negative value on purpose or a type/sign problem?

Code: Select all

For i = 1 To 100
  Delay(100)
  Debug Str(i)+" "+Str(ElapsedMilliseconds())
Next

I assume it returns a positive int on Linux and AmigaOS platforms.

It's now corrected.

fred, isn't a wraparound possible? i assume you're reading one of the 32 bit counters?

[Fred]

no, it's not possible as the counter is reseted at every program launch, and can hold 2^31 milliseconds. Just do the calc .
