Public bug reported: When I compile and run the attached program, the output shows an inconsistency between the time returned by clock_gettime() and time(). Even though the call to time() is after the call to clock_gettime(), it can return an earlier timestamp. This is particularly apparent after waiting until a particular time, as shown in the example code. Sample output is:
Now (clock_gettime) time is 1574670740847614452 (timespec) =>1574670740(time_t) =>8:32:20 Now (time(nullptr)) time is 1574670740(time_t) =>8:32:20 Now (clock_gettime) time is 1574670742000185727 (timespec) =>1574670742(time_t) =>8:32:22 Now (time(nullptr)) time is 1574670741(time_t) =>8:32:21 Compiled with g++ v7 from the ubuntu repositories.
