sleep command in threaded application

The Sleep(ms) command in windows is causing threads to release their timeslices. Is there an equivalent Sleep(ms) command that halts the thread but does not release the timesli开发者_JAVA百科ce?

You don't want your thread to sleep (aka suspend), you want to stall it. Do that with a simple loop:

#include <time.h>

void stall(unsigned ms){
    clock_t goal = clock()+ms;
    while(goal>clock());
}
// or maybe higher resolution with some performance profiling functions...

Strange.

A way to do that is to make your thread execute a loop till the end of the periode needed.

A better solution may be to give the thread handling the device a high priority. But anyway, Windows is not very suitable for real-time systems...
