about your little time_t discussion. It convinvced me to write a test programme to find out the size of time_t. Here it is. It is also my first C programme in years:
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main ( int argc, char * argv[])
{
printf(" sizeof(time_t) = %d bytes\n",sizeof(time_t));
printf(" sizeof(time_t) = %d bits\n",8*sizeof(time_t));
return 0;
}
It gives the following result on my PC:-
sizeof(time_t) = 8 bytes
sizeof(time_t) = 64 bit
Run it on your own computers folks, then you will know the answer, not just have conjecture and suppose.
typical! the comment software has damaged the code. You will need to correct the first two lines to include these parts of the C standard library
time.h
stdio.h
in angle brackets
I have found that if you put
...
tags around your code, the comment system leaves it alone.(And perhaps … works too?)
That should have been ‘code’ tags and ‘pre’ tags, respectively.
A few tests:
Maybe this works (HTML entity references): <code>
Or this (entity references inside ‘code’ tags):
<code>
Or even this (‘code’ tags inside ‘pre’ element):
I’ve just edited this – hope you don’t mind.
< and > followed by a semicolon was the solution – WP comments are a little clunky and we need to do some work around here. Thanks for your comments!
How would we code this in D ? I am learning D at the moment.
I suppose that the critical output line would be something like time_t.sizeof.writeln. Before that you would need to import time_t and writeln.
Bit late, but rm -rf / works without the extra flags on rooted Android (at least it did five years ago)
