Fw: Re: ticket #3889

I found a part of the assembly that says that the path is not called.

if ( ( flags & POSIX_CONDITION_VARIABLES_CLOCK_MONOTONIC ) != 0 ) {

40005594:   12 80 00 39     bne  40005678 <_POSIX_Condition_variables_Wait_support+0x118> <== NEVER TAKEN

40005598:   f4 27 bf e8     st  %i2, [ %fp + -24 ]

So if i'm correct The BSP supports this fuction of CLOCK_Monotonic (because the assembly is archetcture specific)? Which means that there is a need for the test I assume?

Also does leon= the same as  the bsp  erc32-sis (or the one in the tutorial)

I was able to complete the BSP and tools build, and run the hello world examples. I want to work on small tickets first and work my way into the source code. The ticket is asking for a test clock_create with clock monotonic. here is the link for the ticket I'm referring to https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3889 .My thinking is to look for code that does something similar. In the ticket it says that there is a test with clock_realtime. I was on the discord and someone suggested me to looking to the coverage tests. How come i don't see the function clock_create when looking at the annotated assembly code? Also I think the test should be based on this https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/testsuites/psxtests/psxtimer02/psxtimer.c
