Get millisecond part of time

Question

I need to get milliseconds from the timer

    // get timer part
    time_t timer = time(NULL);
    struct tm now = *localtime( &timer );
    char timesta         


        

Answer 1

under MS Visual Studio c/c++ include sys/timeb.h and use _ftime (_ftime_s). Retrieves a struct _timeb (_ftime64) containing the time_t struct and also milli seconds, see MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-/library/z54t9z5f.aspx

#include <sys/timeb.h>

struct _timeb timebuffer;
_ftime(&timebuffer);
timebuffer.millitm; //milli seconds
timebuffer.time; //the same like struct time_t

Here is another c++11 answer:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <chrono>
#ifdef WIN32
#define localtime_r(_Time, _Tm) localtime_s(_Tm, _Time)
#endif

int main()
{
    tm localTime;
    std::chrono::system_clock::time_point t = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
    time_t now = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(t);
    localtime_r(&now, &localTime);

    const std::chrono::duration<double> tse = t.time_since_epoch();
    std::chrono::seconds::rep milliseconds = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(tse).count() % 1000;

    std::cout << (1900 + localTime.tm_year) << '-'
        << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(2) << (localTime.tm_mon + 1) << '-'
        << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(2) << localTime.tm_mday << ' '
        << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(2) << localTime.tm_hour << ':'
        << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(2) << localTime.tm_min << ':'
        << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(2) << localTime.tm_sec << '.'
        << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(3) << milliseconds
        << std::endl;
}
