I just landed in a excessive pile of C++.
All I've found is Windows and *nix ways of doing it.
I need a timer that works in a pure C++ OS!Should be able to use the ctime or ( time.h ) which allows you to access system time of PC etc. You then can request the time, save it into variable within a loop and when the time matches say time + 30 SECONDS it breaks out of the delay loop or triggers an event etc.

Curious as to what you mean by a timer that works in a pure C++ OS.... did you create your own OS?If the OP is using Microsoft libraries, he would need to look into the reference materiel.

C++ Language and Standard Libraries (Microsoft)

Or maybe the OP WANTS some actual code:

The above has two short examples.

That still raises the question of what a "Pure C++ OS" is, though. Particularly considering I find it doubtful they re-implemented the standard library for their system.

That is what I thought too. The most widely used C++ libraries on a small computer are from Microsoft.
