|
| I can suggest two possible explanations:
|
|   - the C++ library has a bug when printing long long variables via
|     cout (did you try an equivalent C program?);


An equivalent C program usually generates  the same result (sometimes it works OK).


###### C code : Source file : BEGIN ######
/* File yyy2.c */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
#define TOTAL_TIMES 1000

int  i;

uclock_t start_uclock;
uclock_t end_uclock;

  for (i = 0; i < TOTAL_TIMES; i++)
  {
    start_uclock = uclock();
    printf ("[%d] start_uclock = %ld\n", i, start_uclock);
    fflush (NULL);
    assert (start_uclock >= 0);

    end_uclock = uclock();
    printf ("[%d] end_uclock = %ld\n", i, end_uclock);
    fflush (NULL);
    assert (end_uclock >= 0);

    assert (start_uclock < end_uclock);
  }

  return 0;

}

|   - uclock tries to reprogram the system timer chip, but Windows 2000,
|     being of the NT family, doesn't let you do so.
