compilation problem

girish_hilage · 05-30-2006, 07:21 AM

Hi,
On my AIX machine in one of my program I have declared a vaiable "m_start_time" of "hrtime_t" type. I also have included the file <sys/time.h>.

But, during compilation its giving the error :
"The text m_start_time" is unexpected. 'hrtime_t' may be undeclared or ambiguous".

Can anybody please let me know what could be the problem?

Regards,
Girish

Where did you dig up that type? It does not exist on my AIX machines.

Sorry for not being comprehensive enough while posting the question.
Actually I want my program to be compatible on both Sun & AIX. On Sun the function gethrtime() which returns hrtime_t type of variable is there but on AIX I have come to know that there is no such function.
So, I was trying to find out if there is any such function on AIX which is equivalent to gethrtime() on Sun?

Try looking into 'read_real_time' on AIX for high resolution times.
