time functions from C/C++/VC++ confuse me....

[iceColdFire]

Hi,
Last night I was trying to work on a project requiring lots of timer
controls...I needed good ANSI based API's for milliseonds and other
stuff...

However , google on time funcitons in c++, produced a lot of info
,,,but none of them seemed to be from bare C++.

Kindly help with which API has been originally deigned for time
controls and also which are outdated...

Thanks,
a.a.cpp

How about Boost.Date_Time? Take a look at
http://boost.org/doc/html/date_time.html

hi: Mikhail
Indeed Boost.[...] is impressive wrapper for time functions...however I
am interested in using ANSI based pure C++ api's...means those api's
which have been defined for the C++ standard by the ANSI committee...

All the date and time functions of ISO C++ are defined in header <ctime>. It doesn't
provide millisecond accuracy explicitly, the smallest thing you can get is clock_t type
and CLOCKS_PER_SEC which is the amount of clock_t that consist a second.
