Is this the proper way of writing a cross-platform sleep function?

>Is this the proper way of writing a cross-platform sleep function?
No. Move the platform specific includes into a C file and make sleepSeconds a function not a macro.
#if defined(unix) || defined(__unix__) || defined(__unix)
#include
void sleepSeconds(int a) {
sleep(a);
}
#elif defined(_WIN32)
#include
void sleepSeconds(int a) {
Sleep(a * 1000);
}
#else
#include
void sleepSeconds(a) {
assert(0 && "sleepSeconds() not implemented for this OS!");
}
#endif
So this is the proper way?

SLEEP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SLEEP(3)
RETURN VALUE
Zero if the requested time has elapsed, or the number of seconds left to sleep, if the call
was interrupted by a signal handler.
>Linux
I need it to work on other OSs too. And I don't need anything complicated anyways.
>>C lang has no standard wait function
When you get to "real" programming, you realise how not useful a sleep function like that really is.
I'm writing a program that "presses" a button on a webpage automatically after a set amount of wait time. So in this situation it's needed.
write for POSIX and if you need to suck Bill Gates cock install mingw
Just use select().
>suck Bill Gates cock install mingw
mingw is a pain in the ass to install and use
select isn't standard either dumdum
But it does??

no, you're supposed to have 2 seperate files for windows and unix, which will contain the implementations
then you put a function prototype in the header like this
void sleepSeconds(int);
then you link the unix code if it's the unix makefile, or link the windows code if it's the windows build script
Thanks for the info, user!
I'll go learn cross-platform makefiles then
GCC and Clang both default to C11 and even the Linux kernel has moved onto it.
You are reinforcing his point.
Learn CMake.
