but I see its use in past posts on clc.

Well chapter 4 is about times and dates. I don't remember offhand if "wall
clock time" is mentioned specifically. It could have been but it isn't a
term that relates specifically to C.
I'm sure the indexing could be improved, but don't forget the chapter list
at the start. I don't see the need to slog through 400 pages to find
relevant sections. :-)

The whole point of a reference text is that you HAVE FORGOTTEN the contents.

It gets a passing mention on page 123, as a cursory inspection of the
relevant chapter will reveal. I found it from scratch in about eight
seconds, so it was no real hardship that the term didn't appear in the
index.

Hi,
I need to be able to measure a time interval in milliseconds on a windows
machine. I have tried using time.clock() but it appears to measure time in
seconds...Is there a way to measure time more precisely?

I would like to determine the "actual" elapsed time of an operation
which could take place during a time change, in a platform-independent
manner (at least across Linux/Windows machines).
Using time.time() doesn't appear to be suitable, since time might jump
forwards or backwards at the user's whim, if the system clock is reset,
or when a daylight savings time change occurs.
Using time.clock() doesn't appear to be suitable on Linux,...

Hi!
I'm trying to profile an application that I believe is blocking on I/O
for a significant amount of time. In trying to dig down where this
happens, I profiled the application with hotshot. The results are not
really usable however as it seems to display the amount of CPU time
which for my application is much lower than the total run time.
Is possible to use hotshot with wall clock time, i.e. is it possible to
have the code fragment...

Hi everyone,
I am struggling with the following problem. I would like to measure the

the code is not portable, as it fails to compile on Linux Red Hat. This

Hi -
I have been using clock() for calculating CPU time and time() for
calculating Wall time. However, since time() does not provided milli/
microsecond accurancy, i started using gettimeofday() as below to
calculate walltime,
struct timeval tv1,tv2;
struct timezone tz1, tz2;
gettimeofday(&tv1,&tz1);

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
