Implementing "Wait" or "Sleep" in HLS module

I want to write a HLS module(writing in C and using i++) that periodically(almost every second) copies a block of memory to another location. How can I implement the wait time? should I just implement a for loop without body? how can I be sure that optimizer doesn't get rid of it since it doesn't do anything?

Hi ,

You can explore the usage of volatile keyword in case you don't want the compiler to optimize away specific contents.

Thanks and Regards

Anil
