are you serious, why don't you add

func TimevalToNsec(tv Timeval) int64 { return int64(tv.Sec)*1e9 + int64(tv.Usec)*1e3 }

to /unix/syscall_linux_arm.go

Yes, I'm serious. This is a bug in x/sys/unix. That's why I reported it.

I already added it and it compiled and works, but that's just a short-term workaround until the bug gets fixed (hopefully soon, since it's trivial).

so what is the context of the bug, it is a missing function in the arm version of the package, if you want i can test the fix on my beaglebone

anyway that comment was targeted on the comment in 13740e1e5a1ff0a3099bb13455bec9fd25d2027c

So why is it not possible to add the function to the platform ? It is exactly the same for all other platforms

https://github.com/golang/sys/blob/master/unix/syscall_darwin_arm.go#L22 for example

Someone probably forgot to add it to syscall_linux_arm.go.

my guess too

is it going to be fixed ?

Yes. It'll be fixed. No need to worry.

great, all my worries are gone :) thanks
