millitime

[cdg]

Could anyone tell me how to correctly write this, so that the milliseconds
are printable in "main".

#include <sys/timeb.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int GetMilliTime();

void main( )
{
int tm(0);
GetMilliTime( );
cout << tm << endl;
}

int GetMilliTime( )
{
struct _timeb tstruct;
_ftime( &tstruct );
int tm = tstruct.millitm;

return tm;
}

Try this:
#include <sys/timeb.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int GetMilliTime();

int main( )
{
//int tm(0);

you do nothing to change tm.

cout << GetMilliTime( ) << endl;
//int x = 0;
double x = 0.0;
for(long i=0; i<34000000; i++)
x*x*x*x*x*x*x;
cout << GetMilliTime() << endl;

//system("pause");
}

int GetMilliTime( )
{
struct _timeb tstruct;
_ftime( &tstruct );
int tm = tstruct.millitm;
return tm;
}

I was just wanting to know how to make another function for the routine
already written.
This is the program written in "main". And it works exactly as I need it.
But I would like to put it into another function and call it from "main".
So, I am not sure how to pass the referenced struct variable, or how it is
exactly written. And it is just the milliseconds from the clock.
This code has been copied from the "time-t" documentation in C++ 6.
Everything else has been removed except the milli-seconds.

#include <sys/timeb.h>
#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
struct _timeb tstruct;
_ftime( &tstruct );
cout<<tstruct.millitm<<endl;
}

If anyone is interested, I figured out this way to correctly write my
previous posted code. However, I am not sure what "#include" file is needed
when using "namespace std;".
If anyone knows what this header file is using "namespace std;" and
getting the milliseconds. Would you post it.

#include <sys/timeb.h>
#include <iostream.h>

unsigned short GetMilliTime(unsigned short *);

int main()
{
unsigned short mltm;
GetMilliTime(&mltm);
cout<<mltm<<endl;
return 0;
}

unsigned short GetMilliTime(unsigned short *mltm)
{
struct _timeb tstruct;
_ftime( &tstruct );
*mltm = tstruct.millitm;
return *mltm;
}
