Getting Current Date (not time_t)

Hi there,

In C++, how do I get the current date WITHOUT using the C style time_t time() function?

I'm looking for something which can cope with a more expansive range of dates, as opposed to the 1970 to 2038 year range imposed by current implementations of time_t.

Thanks

I don't *think* that C++ defines the range for the time_t type. It is compiler-defined.

You will have to use function specific for your operating system. In Windows, you can use the GetSystemTime() function.

Hi Sang-drax,

Nice to hear from you again.

Thought so.

Thanks for the reply.
