Get time in milliseconds #265

Closed MaJerle closed 1 year ago

MaJerle commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when I need to implement (for every project) custom time to ms conversion with 

#define tx_time_get_ms() (tx_time_get() * (1000 / TX_TIMER_TICKS_PER_SECOND))

Describe the solution you'd like I propose we add this macro as part of standard API of ThreadX, next to declaration of tx_time_get() function.

Describe alternatives you've considered None - Application simply requires ms time for further calculation, even if its resolution is not at 1ms but depends on the TX_TIMER_TICKS_PER_SECOND info.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Thanks @MaJerle! We will discuss internally and get back to you.

@MaJerle , we discussed internally and decided not to add this macro to ThreadX API. The main reason is that due to the resolution of ThreadX timer, it may confuse users require 1ms precision. Instead, some of user applications will add additional timer in the system to get 1ms precision.

In your case, I recommend adding this macro to tx_user.h which can be shared by multiple projects as a workaround.
