how to use gettimeofday() or something equivalent with Visual Studio C++ 2008?
- by make
Hi,
Could someone please help me to use gettimeofday() function with Visual Studio C++ 2008 on Windows XP? here is a code that I found somewhere on the net:
#include < time.h >
#include <windows.h>
#if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(_MSC_EXTENSIONS)
#define DELTA_EPOCH_IN_MICROSECS 11644473600000000Ui64
#else
#define DELTA_EPOCH_IN_MICROSECS 11644473600000000ULL
#endif
struct timezone
{
int tz_minuteswest; /* minutes W of Greenwich */
int tz_dsttime; /* type of dst correction */
};
int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz)
{
FILETIME ft;
unsigned __int64 tmpres = 0;
static int tzflag;
if (NULL != tv)
{
GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&ft);
tmpres |= ft.dwHighDateTime;
tmpres <<= 32;
tmpres |= ft.dwLowDateTime;
/*converting file time to unix epoch*/
tmpres -= DELTA_EPOCH_IN_MICROSECS;
tmpres /= 10; /*convert into microseconds*/
tv->tv_sec = (long)(tmpres / 1000000UL);
tv->tv_usec = (long)(tmpres % 1000000UL);
}
if (NULL != tz)
{
if (!tzflag)
{
_tzset();
tzflag++;
}
tz->tz_minuteswest = _timezone / 60;
tz->tz_dsttime = _daylight;
}
return 0;
}
...
// call gettimeofday()
gettimeofday(&tv, &tz);
tm = localtime(&tv.tv_sec);
Last yesr when I tested this code VC++6, it works fine. But now when I use VC++ 2008, I am getting error of exception handling. So is there any idea on how to use gettimeofday or something equivalent?
Thanks for your reply and any help would be very appreciated:
