ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I want use somthing like timers.
I give it a period and a function to invoke, then when the
time specified by period comes to the end, the function
will be invoked automatically.
I like this way ,because it make the program logic clear.
you can use threads.for example "i=1 to 1000" block takes 1 seconds to complete so that in a thread function,you can control the value (it is i) if equals to 1000,if equals to 1000 you can start a code block you want.
i actually didnt tried this example cos i just learned threads.but i think it will work ; ).(and also i will try by now : )

Are you suggesting busy waiting (or whatever the term is)? This will eat up cpu even as it does nothing. Doing sleep and alarm are less expensive.
