[durga reddy <sysatus@xxxxxxxxx>]

 I want to use kernel timers in my code for calling of specific functions after specified time out.

here i have written a sample code for using timers .but it is giving a error whish has given below.

Source Code:

 

#include<stdio.h>
#include<linux/timer.h>

void  add(int a);
main()
{
struct timer_list mytimer;
init_timer(&mytimer);
mytimer.expires=50;
mytimer.data="">mytimer.function=(void *)add;
add_timer(&mytimer);
}
void  add(int a)
{
int c=a;
printf("added valu is %d",c);
}
 when i am compiling with this command :

gcc -c -I /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/ timer1.c

it is giving the following error :

In file included from timer1.c:4:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/linux/timer.h:17: field `list' has incomplete type

can any one help me outtt...........

 

thanks
