C - gettimeofday for computing time?

Question

do you know how to use gettimeofday for measuring computing time? I can measure one time by this code:

  char buffer[30];
  struct timeval tv;

  time_t curt         


        

Answer 1

No. gettimeofday should NEVER be used to measure time.

This is causing bugs all over the place. Please don't add more bugs.
