Simple code:
Code: [Select]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(void)
{
  unsigned long tick1;
  for(int i=0;i<100000000;i++);
  tick1 = clock ();
  printf("tick1 = %d\n", tick1);
  long tick2;
  for(int i=0;i<100000000;i++);
  tick2 = clock ();
  printf("tick2 = %d\n", tick2);
}
Compile it:
Quote
i386-aros-gcc clock.c -o clock_aros-i386.exe -std=c99
Run it:
Quote
tick1 = 0
tick2 = 0
WTF?! Why clock() call always return zero?
Am I doing something wrong?

This not work me too ... try this code...
Code: [Select]
#include <proto/timer.h>

struct timeval  tv1, tv2;
gettimeofday(&tv1, NULL);
/* stuff to do! */
gettimeofday(&tv2, NULL);

printf ("Total time = %f seconds\n",
         (double) (tv2.tv_usec - tv1.tv_usec) / 1000000 +
         (double) (tv2.tv_sec - tv1.tv_sec));

Try a different compiler optimization option perhaps?

What does time(NULL) give you?

It's just work..

Code: [Select]
// deadwood.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(void)
{
    time_t t = time(NULL);
    struct tm tm = *localtime(&t);
    printf("NOW: %d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d\n", tm.tm_year + 1900, tm.tm_mon + 1, tm.tm_mday, tm.tm_hour, tm.tm_min, tm.tm_sec);
}
Code: [Select]
$ gcc deadwood.c -o deadwood_win.exe
$ ./deadwood_win.exe
NOW: 2020-10-31 03:34:55
Code: [Select]
$ i386-aros-gcc deadwood.c -o deadwood_aros-i386.exe -std=c99
$ ./deadwood_aros-i386.exe
NOW: 2020-10-31 03:37:59

I found this problem while trying to compile bogomips.
The original of any version compiles and works fine on all platforms (except AROS) with the option -O3.
So I also thought about optimization and didn't use the optmization option in this examples. It didn't help me.

This code works, but it isn't very convenient to use in iterations. Although this might be a solution for AROS.

clock() is indeed broken in AROS since 2012...

It was changed to use time(), but time() has resolution of seconds, so that's why you get '0' as result most of the time.

I'll see if I can fix that, but this means people will have to update their C libraries for your software to work.

Here is a new version of stdc.library. Let me know if it works for you.

Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I replaced LIBS:stdc.library to your version, rebooted the virtual machine with AROS installed and tried to run the previously compiled bogomips_aros-i386.exe The error remained the same.

My cygwin doesn't have a clock () in /gcc/i386-aros-gcc/

Indeed, in AROS itself, few application use call() and everything comes from stdc..

You seems to be using the arosc.library C implementation. Which compiler are you using? A cross-compiler or a native gcc under AROS? What is the version of the compiler?

I think my problem here is static linking, but not immediately find where it comes from. i'm using cross compiler under cygwin.

Ok, that's explains it. You are using an older compiler which was linking to arosc.library. Here is patched vesion:

It worked!



I will upload these two libraries to an aros-archive.org with your permission?
i had the same problems in the AROS One and IcarOS distributive.

Glad it worked.

I'll build you a release version (this one has debug info so it is big). You only need arosc.library.
Please don't upload the library separatelly, but include it in your program package.
