usleep and select timeout

A piece of sample code that does not work... the code hangs when going into the loop as best as I can tell. If I take the delay wether it be sleep, usleep, or select via timeout it hangs.

Why is this happening? I have no clue. It hangs the same way on regular linux systems.... never had this problem before. Maybe I am just passing over something simple.

Code as follows:

// ********************************************************************************

// **

// ** select timeout timing test

// **

// ********************************************************************************

// OS Provided Includes# include <sys/stat.h># include <sys/signal.h># include <sys/select.h># include <sys/types.h># include <time.h># include <fcntl.h># include <stdio.h># include <string.h># include <math.h>

int main(void)

{

int counter = 0;

struct timeval timeout;

printf("..................\n");

printf("serial receive test\n");

// The main loop

// ... essentially just sleep and print every 1 second

for (counter = 0; counter < 100; counter++)

{

// Print out a .

printf(".");

/*

// Sleep for 1 second

timeout.tv_sec = 0;

timeout.tv_usec = 1000000;

select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &timeout);

*/

usleep(1000000);

//sleep(1);

//printf(".");

}

printf("\n");

return TRUE;

}
