Microsoft Windows QueryPerformanceCounter doesn't fail on Windows XP or later. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms644904(v=vs.85).aspx

Posix gettimeofday called with a valid timeval address and a null second parameter doesn't fail. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/gettimeofday.html

Posix clock_gettime called with a valid clock_id and a valid timespec address is in principle allowed to fail if the number of seconds doesn't fit in time_t, so even though no known implementation does this it is probably best to retain the error check at this time. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/clock_getres.html
