This fixes Clock drift when running ArduPilot SITL in a Docker container on a Mac
The bug is that
get_wall_time_us
usesgettimeofday
, which is not guaranteed to be monotonic.The fix is to use
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ...)
instead.Should I perhaps also rename
get_wall_time_us
toget_system_time_us
, as it doesn't actually return wall-clock time (and hasn't returned it on Windows even before this PR)?
