[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 2/5] change all rt_clock references to use millisecond resolution accessors |
|
Date: |
Sat, 12 Mar 2011 18:04:17 +0100 |
This was done with:
sed -i '/get_clock\>.*rt_clock/s/get_clock\>/get_clock_ms/' \
$(git grep -l 'get_clock\>.*rt_clock' )
sed -i '/new_timer\>.*rt_clock/s/new_timer\>/new_timer_ms/' \
$(git grep -l 'new_timer\>.*rt_clock' )
after checking that get_clock and new_timer never occur twice
on the same line. There were no missed occurrences; however, even
if there had been, they would have been caught by the compiler.
