The @code{ctime} function need not be reentrant, and consequently is
|
|
not required to be thread safe. Implementations of @code{ctime}
|
|
typically write the time stamp into static buffer. If two threads
|
|
call @code{ctime} at roughly the same time, you might end up with the
|
|
wrong date in one of the threads, or some undefined string. There is
|
|
a re-entrant interface @code{ctime_r}.
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
A more flexible function is @code{strftime}. However, note that it is
|
|
locale dependent.
