RE: [Dev-C++] Thanks and Another question (windows/linux)

[Pukara R. <puk...@ya...>]

Thank you very much for all your answers.
 
By the way, about the stdio.h file. I think it is pretty neccessary so I am wondering why these guys chose to leave it out? Has any one of you worked with Visual C++? Is there a replacemente for the standard stdio.h there? I asked because the Aria guys provided some project files for VC but since I work with DevC++...
 
About the ..
 
#ifdef SOMETHING
.......
#endif
 
how do I define and undefine something from the compiling environment. I am trying to force it compile because I have lost too much time already.
 
By the way ARIA is the name of a control system for Pioneer robots.

Hello, Pukara.
Try #including before all your Aria headers. is ANSI, and
is portable. I don't know why they've decided not to work with it on
Windows, but you can try it out anyway.

Specifically:
* time_t is legal.
* timeb.h is the header for the Unix ftime() function, and is not ANSI.

Here's a dump of what my reference says about ftime():

Syntax

#include 
void ftime(struct timeb *buf)

Description

Stores current time in timeb structure.
On UNIX platforms ftime is available only on System V systems.
ftime determines the current time and fills in the fields in the timeb
structure pointed to by buf. The timeb structure contains four fields: time,
millitm, _timezone, and dstflag:

struct timeb {
long time ;
short millitm ;
short _timezone ;
short dstflag ;

};

time provides the time in seconds since 00:00:00 Greenwich mean time (GMT)
January 1 1970.
millitm is the fractional part of a second in milliseconds.
_timezone is the difference in minutes between GMT and the local time. This
value is computed going west from GMT. ftime gets this field from the global
variable _timezone which is set by tzset.
dstflag is set to nonzero if daylight saving time is taken into account
during time calculations.

Note: ftime calls tzset. Therefore it isn't necessary to call tzset
explicitly when you use ftime.

Return Value

None.
