Sleep() without windows.h

GarlandIX · 2002-06-03T00:04:46

I am writing a win32 console program and after compiling it to try it out, i noticed that it is huge (over 90kb for only ~750 lines of code)! I looked through and noticed i was including windows.h, but the only function i was using from it is Sleep(). So to save space, i want to implement Sleep() on my own, without using windows.h. I was wondering how might i go about this? is there anyway to get at some sort of system or internal clock, or maybe some kind of timer, without using windows.h? ------------------------------ BASIC programmers don''t die, they just GOSUB and don''t return.

Chopped straight out of my code (may be MSVC specific, but Dev-C++ won''t complain if it is):

//----------- optimizations ----------------/*         OPTIMIZATION STATISTICS		 -----------------------   -NONE:             76.0 KB   -w/o ALLIGN        72.0 KB ( 8.0 KB)   -w/o GSY:          67.5 KB ( 1.5 KB)   -w/o MERGE:        66.5 KB ( 0.5 KB)   -ALL:              66.0 KB (10.0 KB)*/#pragma optimize("gsy", on)#pragma comment(linker, "/merge:.text=.data")#pragma comment(linker, "/FILEALIGN:0x200")
