Thanks!

Looking at it:

1 ===

+       struct instr_time start_time;

I think we can get rid of the "struct" keyword here.

2 ===

+           struct instr_time current_time;
+           struct instr_time elapsed_time;

Same as above.

3 ===

I gave more thoughts and I think it can be simplified a bit to reduce the
number of operations in the while loop.

What about relying on a "absolute" time that way:

    instr_time absolute;
    absolute.ticks = start_time.ticks + msec * 1000000;

and then in the while loop:

    while (nanosleep(&delay, &remain) == -1 && errno == EINTR)
    {
        instr_time current_time;
        INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(current_time);

        if (current_time.ticks > absolute.ticks)
        {
            break;
