The Linux man page for times() mentions this special behavior, how it isn't portable, and even advises against using the function: "On Linux, the buf argument can be specified as NULL, with the result that times() just returns a function result. However, POSIX does not specify this behavior, and most other UNIX implementations require a non-NULL value for buf." "[...] a portable application would be wise to avoid using this value. To measure changes in elapsed time, use clock_gettime(2) instead." One might argue that it would be nice to emulate the Linux behavior, but it's not required by POSIX. ..wayne.. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
