Hi all,

This is a proposal to add CUSeconds, CSUSeconds to Foreign.C.Types (which are Haskell versions of the C useconds_t and suseconds_t types), and fix the definition of CTimeval to use CTime and CSUSeconds rather than CLong.

The C types are specified here:    http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/time.h.html

This will fix a bug in getCPUTime on OS X.

Patches, from William Knop, to implement this are here:    http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/4970/0001-Add-Haskell-...    http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/4970/0002-Whitespace-o...    http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/4970/0003-Use-CSUSecon...    http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/4970/0001-Use-CSUSecon...

+1 on this, it looks like the right way to fix the bug.

Does this work on Windows? These random internet threads raise some doubt:

And this person has had trouble on the 'Interix' platform, which is the NT unix compat layer (perhaps completely unrelated to mingw?):
