- * This test case aims at making sure that timing utilities such

- * drifting or inconsistent time changes (such as ntp time sync
- * in the past, etc.).
- *
- * It is run using faketime so that we change how
- * non-monotonic clocks perceive time movement. We freeze
- * non-monotonic time, and check if setTimeout and setInterval
- * work properly in that situation.
- *
- * We check this by setting a timer based on a monotonic clock
- * to fire after setTimeout's callback is supposed to be called.
- * This monotonic timer, by definition, is not subject to time drifting
- * and inconsistent time changes, so it can be considered as a solid
- * reference.
- *
- * When the monotonic timer fires, if the setTimeout's callback
- * hasn't been called yet, it means that setTimeout's underlying timer
- * is vulnerable to time drift or inconsistent time changes.
