I have thread that runs loop.
I need that loop to be run once every 5ms (1ms error).
I know that Sleep() function is not precise.
Do you have any suggestions?
Update.
I can’t do it other way.
At the end of loop I need some kind of Sleep.
I don’t want to have 100% CPU loaded either.
From the question tags I suppose you are on windows.
Take a look at Multimedia Timers, they advertise precision under 1ms.
Another options is to use Spin Locks but this will basically keep a cpu core at maximum usage.
