Hi,

Has anything change in regards to the C localtime function since 2007?
I've got a program with a function that uses it to present the date and
time that I just changed. The time isn't appearing only the date.

No errors, no dumps, just no time. Most bizarre.


TIA - Tod


Incidentally, here's how I'm valuing the time.  Worked with the 2007
version of cygwin1.dll (not that I'm blaming cygwin):

char * getTime(char *tout)
    {
     time_t      now;
     struct      tm tim;

     now = time(NULL);
     tim = *(localtime(&now));
     strftime(tout,strlen(tout),"%m/%d/%Y:%H:%M:%S",&tim);

     return(tout);
    }

tout is a 128 byte character array.

If that's really what you're using then strlen(tout) seems obviously wrong. It should be 128.

Won't strlen(tout) resolve to 128?
