As far as the language is concerned, `time_t` is intended to       be an opaque type. It has to be a real type, so it is either an integer       of a plain floating-point type. But other than that nothing is known       about it. There's really no point in printing it.              If you still want to, you can do it in some implementation-specific way.       Which still immediately means that you can't do it "reliably", if I       understand what you mean correctly.              --       Best regards,       Andrey              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
