porting linux c++ code to windows -> need windows equiv for sleep() and gettimeofday()
Hi there
I am having a hell of a time porting my linux code to windows..
I need a windows function that will get wall-time in ~milliseconds, like gettimeofday() which is found in <sys/time.h> s
and I need a sleep() function in windows which will sleep for one second or so, (in linux I used unistd.h which contains the sleep() function ).
These are just some of my problems :S
if someone could help that would be really great!!!
Thank you in advance!!!!!!!!!!

>>like gettimeofday()
You can use GetSystemTime()
You can use GetSystemTime()
ASKER
is GetSystemTime under windows.h??
Another problem I have is that in my includes I have <iostream.h> and <fstream.h> and <string>, but ostringstream is not recognizable anymore on the windows side, and is spitting out dozens of errors
(I've increase the points another 20)
Thank you

Thank you
use <iostream> and <fstream> without ".h"
for stringstreams you need to include <sstream>
for stringstreams you need to include <sstream>
don't forget to use the right namespace... (std::)

oh man
okay the problem is that *I can't* use <iostream> and <fstream> without the .h's because of another library im using with the code...
if i include the .h's then i get 102 compile errors!
so its no option becuase of the library i'm using
(god i hate porting!!)

>>using with the code...
The *.h version is not part of the C++ standard, and therefore, it's not portable.
I recommend you avoid using any library that uses non-standard libraries.
If you really have to use this library, you could create you're own version of the headers, and have it include the standard headers.

well i am using VC++ 6.0, but it still doesnt work...
errors after errors after errors....
part of the problem is i'm also using a library (VTK) which has a bunch of its own redefinitions like using std::blabla in one of its classes
even if i comment out all my #includes involving input/output, i still get errors that say 'redefinition of blabla' and problems with the strstream, and the errors all point to that VTK class, or they point to my Microsft Visual Studio /INCLUDE folder
ITs insane
there has to be a way but at this point ive tried so much and it seems hopeless :(

You should avoid mixing non-standard headers with standard headers.
When you do have to mix non-standard headers with standard headers, never use using namespace std.
When yo use using namespace std, you're putting the standard header library in the same namespace as the non-standard header library, which then causes the compiler to give you a redefinition error.

Thanks for your responses,
btw I found that using <strstrea.h> instead of <strstream.h> works,
and then i just use istrstream/ostrstream (iinstead of istringstream/ostringstrea

so is it okay though thtat I use
std::string
even though everything else is nonstandard - i.e. all my includes are wih the .h's, and nowhere do I have 'using namespace std' or anything like htat. I even have <string.h>, only when I declare an object, i have to put 'std::string variablename' ( its the only place where I have std:: in my code)

How about the third party libraries you're using. Do any of them have using namespace in their headers?

Hi,
actually yes, they have a library where it says:
using std::dec;
00045 using std::hex;
00046 using std::setw;
00047 using std::setfill;
00048 using std::setprecision;
00049 using std::cerr;
00050 using std::cout;
00051 using std::cin;
00052 using std::ios;
00053 using std::endl;
00054 using std::ends;
00055 using std::ostream;
00056 using std::istream;
00057 using std::ostrstream;
00058 using std::istrstream;
00059 using std::strstream;
00060 using std::ofstream;
00061 using std::ifstream;
00062 using std::fstream;
This is the problem basically

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.

Use Sleep() API function. It has a capital first letter, as do most windows API functions.
