Very Computer

I am            : SunOS 5.6 Generic sun4c sparc SUNW,Sun_4_40
C compiler      : /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc

And now, the problem:

main()
{
        struct  stat    bufstat;
        if(bufstat.st_mtime != (time_t)0 )
                ;

Quote:}

The code above is quite edible for compiler.
But at runtime 'st_mtime' field isn't recognised. Instead, 'st_mtim' play
the role of 'st_mtime'.
'st_mtim' in turn,  isn't passed by the compiler.

Thus, parsing of bufstat (the more, after fstat() calls) cannot be
trusted.

/usr/include/sys/stat.h defines struct stat as follows (fields of interest
are presented):

#if defined(_KERNEL)
struct  stat {
...
        timestruc_t st_atime;
        timestruc_t st_mtime;
        timestruc_t st_ctime;
...

Quote:}

#else /* !defined(_KERNEL) */
struct  stat {
...
        timestruc_t st_atim;
        timestruc_t st_mtim;
        timestruc_t st_ctim;
...

Quote:}

#endif

Any ideas?

Alex,

[[ PLEASE DON'T SEND ME EMAIL COPIES OF POSTINGS ]]

At compile time, you mean?

The include file also has:

#define st_mtime        st_mtim.tv_sec

This should make st_mtime work.
