[patch] poll.2: timeout_ts is a pointer, so use -> not . for member access

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



>From the context, it is apparent that in the code explaining ppoll in
terms of poll, timeout_ts must be a pointer.

Usage #1:   ready = ppoll(&fds, nfds, timeout_ts, &sigmask);

Usage #2:    (timeout_ts == NULL)

Thus member access in (timeout_ts.tv_sec * 1000 + timeout_ts.tv_nsec /
1000000) is an error.
