How to access the fields of a timeval structure

Question

I\'m trying to print the values in a struct timeval variable as follows:

int main()  
{  

    struct timeval *cur;  
    do_gettimeofday(cur);          


        

Answer 1

You need to use the -> operator rather than then . operator when accessing the fields. Like so: cur->tv_sec.

Also you need to have the timeval structure allocated. At the moment you are passing a random pointer to the function gettimeofday().

struct timeval cur;
gettimeofday(&cur);
printf("%ld.%ld", cur.tv_sec, cur.tv_nsec);
