Does clock() work?
I am trying to write a benchmark application, and figured I'd use
clock() for sub-second resolution timing, but I got non-sensical
results. I check the cygwin archives, but the only mention I saw was
that clock() didn't work on Win98. Here's my test code, chktime.c:
#include time.h
#include unistd.h
#include stdio.h
int main( int argc, char **argv ) {
clock_t cur_time, cps = CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
int i;
printf( CLOCKS_PER_SEC = %ld\n, cps );
for ( i = 0; i 8; i++ ) {
sleep(1);
cur_time = clock();
printf( clock() = %ld\n, cur_time );
}
return 0;
}
and here's the output I get:
Cygwin ./chktime
CLOCKS_PER_SEC = 1000
clock() = 171
clock() = 171
clock() = 171
clock() = 171
clock() = 171
clock() = 171
clock() = 171
clock() = 171
Cygwin
I would expect the clock() values to increase by approximately 1000 on
each iteration. (Yes, the sleep() seems to be working, as the lines come
out at about 1 Hz.)
Is this a known problem? Do others get this result, or do I have a

I get similar results with the same program. According to

Took another look and found that times(2), though not documented, is available in Cygwin (as a macro in sys/times.h). Try it. You should be able to get real granular time with it, since it also returns a clock_t, without massaging the data returned with any magic CONSTANTS that vary from mach to mach, skewing the results. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norton Allen Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 1:40 PM To: Mr Webber; cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Does clock() work?

Is there a specific command you want me to run to try to set the user permissions? Well, that posting was referring to permissions on *Windows* directories. Cygwin isn't standalone -- to work, it needs the standard Windows DLLs like kernel32.dll, winsock stuff, etc. I'm guessing your C:\Windows directory is accessible to local users but not domain users. Also, is the sftp subsystem enabled in /etc/sshd_config? The /etc/sshd_config has this line: Subsystem sftp/usr/sbin/sftp-server I am able to use sftp with the Administrator account, just not with a domain user. Any other ideas? Try to follow through on the permission idea. The ability to use sftp as another local user (not Administrator) would support this guess.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: perl-5.10.0-1 [EXPERIMENTAL]
According to Reini Urban on 12/27/2007 10:31 AM: | A diff of the modules from 5.8 to 5.10 is below. | Module::Build is definitely now in CORE. So I should be prepared to mark perl-module-build as an obsolete package once perl is no longer experimental? Obsolete it only when the perl 5.8 prev version will be deleted. When perl-5.10 will go curr, then an empty perl-module-build or even the same tar.gz will do. I believe it will be in about two weeks or so. One major performance bug was just found and fixed, which will require a 5.10.0-3 release, and the Win32::GUI::Scintilla crash fix (cygwin only) is also outstanding. Your old 5.8 build does no harm to the 5.10 perl. We do not have vendor_perl/5.8 in the new @INC. -- Reini -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
need help with bash -c command with cygpath
When i run cygpath -a '\\uncpath\mydrive$' //uncpath/mydrive$ Which is the expected behaivor. When i run bash -i -c cygpath -a '\\uncpath\mydrive$' /C/uncpath/mydrive$ Which is not what i want.

It's because of the way the backslash is handled within double quotes. info bash may be of some help. cgf Thanks for the help. I read the info. Looks like i will have to pass the UNC path into a script and do the work there.

cygwin, g++ and boost? Do I need dll.a?
I downloaded boost packages under cygwin (both boost and boost-devel). My first problem is unit test framework was not installed through this installation. I have tried to create it through bjam and created a library file at /usr/src/boost-1.33.1-3/boost_1_33_1/bin/boost/libs/test/build/libboost_unit_tes t_framework.a/gcc/boost_unit_test_framework/libboost_unit_test_framework-gcc-1_3 3_1.a I copied it from there to my /lib directory. Then while trying to build quantlib I figured out that quantlib was not able to find any of the boost libraries. They are in my /lib directory as below. After several trials with an hello world code an trying to link library, I realized that I can not link anything in /lib without dll.a extension g++ -o hello -L/lib hello.cpp -llibcrypt this works, since ls /lib/libcrypt* /lib/libcrypt.a /lib/libcrypt.dll.a g++ -o hello -L/lib hello.cpp -llibbfd /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -llibbfd collect2: ld returned 1 exit status fails as libbfd.dll.a does not exist; ls /lib/libbfd* /lib/libbfd.a /lib/libbfd.la none of the libboost have dll.a file; ls libboost* libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a libboost_program_options-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_signals-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a libboost_program_options-gcc-mt.a libboost_signals-gcc-mt.a libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_python-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a libboost_thread-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a libboost_date_time-gcc-mt.a libboost_python-gcc-mt.a libboost_thread-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a libboost_regex-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a libboost_thread-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a libboost_regex-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a libboost_thread-gcc-mt.a libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_regex-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_unit_test_framework-gcc-1_33_1.a libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt.alibboost_regex-gcc-mt.a libboost_unit_test_framework-gcc-mt.a libboost_iostreams-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a libboost_serialization-gcc-mt-1_33_1.alibboost_wave-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a libboost_iostreams-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a libboost_serialization-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a libboost_wave-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a libboost_iostreams-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_serialization-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_wave-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_iostreams-gcc-mt.a libboost_serialization-gcc-mt.a libboost_wave-gcc-mt.a libboost_program_options-gcc-mt-1_33_1.alibboost_signals-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a libboost_program_options-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a libboost_signals-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a Could you tell me why I need dll.a files?

Re: need help with bash -c command with cygpath
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 According to Jay on 1/8/2008 6:52 PM: | When i run | bash -i -c cygpath -a '\\uncpath\mydrive$' Whoa - it seldom makes sense to use -i and -c simultaneously - what good is an interactive shell, if all it is going to do is execute a single command sequence that works just fine non-interactively? Drop the -i. For that matter, why do you need to invoke another instance of bash to call cygpath, when you've already stated that cygpath works just fine on its own? | Why do i get different results depending on how it is called? Because you are calling it differently. Try: echo bash -i -c cygpath -a '\\uncpath\mydrive$' to see what you were calling, and note that it wasn't a UNC path. In bash, and '' don't nest. Therefore, the rules for apply, since that is your outer quoting, and \\ simplifies to \, \m happens to pass unchanged, and $' happens to pass unchanged (but other sequences would have led to other surprises). This is one way to do what you seem to want: bash -c cygpath -a ''\\uncpath\mydrive$'\' By the way, none of this tutorial on shell quoting is cygwin specific. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
