FILETIME to __int64

Question

What is the proper way to convert a FILETIME structure into __int64? Can you please tell me?

Answer 1

Of course you could just pass in an __int64 casted to a filetime as follows *(FILETIME*)&int64Val. This will work fine under Visual C++.

ie

__int64 createTime = 0;
__int64 accessTime = 0;
__int64 writeTime = 0;
GetFileTime( hFile, *(FILETIME*)&createTime, *(FILETIME*)&accessTime, *(FILETIME*)&writeTime );
