sem_timedwait error

[Aitor.Viana.Sanchez at esa.int (Aitor.Viana.Sanchez at esa.int)]

Hi,

i am working with rtems 4.6 over LEON2 architecture. I got a problem with 
the sem_timedwait POSIX function. This function has the next declaration: 

int sem_timedwait(sem_t *restrict sem, const struct timespec *restrict 
abs_timeout);

the problem is that the abs_timeout must have the field tv_nsec cleared 
(set to 0x0) otherwise the function is not executed correctly. I think 
this is a bug in the POSIX API and I guess it would also affect other 
platforms. 
Moreover, the problem is considerable for real-time systems because of the 
lost of precision.

Any idea ?


Cheers,
 
Aitor
