struct tm timeb

[Jeff Kish]

I'm using an old compiler.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to convert from a struct tm to a timeb?

Not sure how to go about it. It is a really old app I'm working with.
thanks

You'll need to check your compiler's documentation.
Standard C++ does not have a type 'timeb'.

sigh. thanks. this is really old...
I think standard C does. Is this an area where C++ won't work with some C
calls?

Is there a recommended way to get from these sort of C time structures to C++?

Standard C does *not* have 'timeb'.

structures to C++?

Post your code, post your requirements (or what the code used to do)
and we can help you figure it out.

Usually to get a C type into C++ you just drop the decoration (like
in your case 'struct tm' becomes 'tm').

'timeb' was used by the old BSD ftime() function.
The same basic info can be obtained by creating
a 'tm' struct using ISO 9899 gmtime() or localtime().
For example:

#include <time.h>

struct tm * pTm;
struct tm tmNow;

pTm = localtime( time(0) );

/* if got the time, make a copy before another thread
* changes the global used by localtime().
* on unix, use the thread-safe localtime_r() instead.
*/
if (pTm)
tmNow = *pTm;
else
/* localtime() error */
