Hello, everyone. I have a weird problem with clock() in glibc and I have
tried my best to solve it myself but it still doesn't work.
My little program is as following:
--------------------------------
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i, sum;
clock_t start, end;
start = clock();
for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
sum += i;
}
end = clock();
printf("start: %ld, end: %ld\n", start, end);
return 0;
}
--------------------------------
The problem is in my box the output is ALWAYS "start: 0, end: 0".
Environment:
$uname -a

------------------------------
What's wrong with my little program?
I just do all the things exactly followed the `time & data' chapter in
glibc manual, but the output is always ZERO. The return value of clock()
is 0, so it seems no error (-1) occurs. But why it always return 0?
Thank you very much!
