Check for _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK and, if present, use
clock_gettime
withCLOCK_MONOTONIC
instead of usinggettimeofday
.I've verified that tests pass and use the monotonic clock on both Ubuntu 20.04.2 and macOS 11.4 (which apparently grew support for
clock_gettime
recently). Haven't tested on any other systems but did verify the tests still pass and don't use the monotonic clock if I munge the check.I don't write much C, so please tell me what terrible things I've done and how to make them better.
