Hi,
I think it is related to: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=982 If I remember well, there is no primitive with nano second accuracy so it is impossible to have it in real.
Yes, and indeed nano second accuracy is overkill for my current problem. I only want some given precision so that
DateAndTime now < DateAndTime now
is always true, so that can be used to order events (object creation in this case) using the date.
I think this was removed as part of speeding up date and time because it was slowing down everything. (long time ago) And people where thinking that this is actually not true: if you ask two times for a corse-grained time, you *can* get the same time twice if you ask faster than the base resolution. It would be interesting to know how other languages handle this. -- Marcus Denker -- http://www.marcusdenker.de INRIA Lille -- Nord Europe. Team RMoD.
