how to print struct timeVal

i have this line in my code

`printf("Rcvd pkt from %s:%d at <%ld.%06ld>\n", inet_ntoa(servAddr.sin_addr),  ntohs(servAddr.sin_port), timeVal.tv_sec, timeVal.tv_usec);`

this is the warning i get with gcc while compiling it

`cc1: warnings being treated as errors
`client12.c: In function ‘main’:
`client12.c:131: warning: format ‘%06ld’ expects type ‘long int’, but argument 5 has type ‘__darwin_suseconds_t’
`client12.c:131: warning: format ‘%06ld’ expects type ‘long int’, but argument 5 has type ‘__darwin_suseconds_t’

what am i doing wrong??

PS - i have included time.h and sys/time.h

Solution

  • Cast the numbers to the correct types:

    printf("Rcvd pkt from %s:%d at <%ld.%06ld>\n", inet_ntoa(servAddr.sin_addr),  ntohs(servAddr.sin_port), (long int)(timeVal.tv_sec), (long int)(timeVal.tv_usec));
