Hi all!
I have noticed some diversion in R14B03 doc for timer module.
In R14B02:
> now_diff(T2, T1) -> Tdiff
> Types:
> T1 = T2 = {MegaSecs, Secs, MicroSecs}
> Tdiff = MegaSecs = Secs = MicroSecs = integer()
> Calculates the time difference Tdiff = T2 - T1 in microseconds, where T1 and T2 probably are timestamp tuples returned from erlang:now/0.
In R14B03:
> now_diff(T1, T2) -> Tdiff
> Types:
> T1 = T2 = calendar:t_now()
> Tdiff = integer()
> In microseconds
> Calculates the time difference Tdiff = T2 - T1 in microseconds, where T1 and T2 probably are timestamp tuples returned from erlang:now/0.
According to R14B03 documentation, expression
> timer:now_diff({0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 2}).
must return 1, but it returns -1.
