- update to 0.9.9:
- When compiled with the CFLAG FAKE_RANDOM set,
libfaketime will intercept calls to getrandom()
and return pseudorandom numbers for determinism.
The mechanism needs to be activated by setting
the environment variable FAKERANDOM_SEED to a
64-bit seed value, e.g., "0x12345678DEADBEEF".
Please note that this completely breaks the
security of random numbers for cryptographic
purposes and should only be used for deterministic
tests. Never use this in production!
- When the environment variable FAKETIME_TIMESTAMP_FILE is
set, points to a writeable (creatable) custom config file
and the environment variable FAKETIME_UPDATE_TIMESTAMP_FILE
is "1", then the file also is updated on each call. By
this, a common "virtual time" can be shared by several
processes, where each can adjust the time for all.
- Additional link-time LDFLAGS can be passed via the
environment variable FAKETIME_LINK_FLAGS when
running 'make'.
- Compile-time CFLAG FAKE_SETTIME can be enabled to
intercept calls to clock_settime(), settimeofday(), and
adjtime(). (suggested and prototyped by @ojura)
- Additional compile-time CFLAGs can be passed via the
environment variable FAKETIME_COMPILE_CFLAGS when
running 'make'.
- src/Makefile CFLAG FORCE_PTHREAD_NONVER should be set on
systems that hang on CLOCK_REALTIME, or that hang on
CLOCK_MONOTONIC where FORCE_MONOTONIC_FIX is not sufficient.
