I encountered strange results with the 'times' library function (I know, this is obsolete but I also encountered strange though different results with the 'getrusage' system call). 'times' calls return should return number of 'CLK_TCK' since invocation of the current process. Instead it returns very big numbers (millions). The following routine is taken from an old Berkeley f77 distribution: #include #include #include struct tb { float usrtime; float systime; }; float etime_(et) struct tb *et; { struct tms clock; times(&clock); et->usrtime = (float) clock.tms_utime / (float)CLK_TCK; et->systime = (float) clock.tms_stime / (float)CLK_TCK; return(et->usrtime + et->systime); } This works fine under f2c or g77 and many Unix systems including Linux and Solaris but gives strange under g77 and gnu-win32.
