[julia-users] jl_stat_ctime

[Brandon Taylor]

Right now in base jl_stat_ctime looks like this:

JL_DLLEXPORT double jl_stat_ctime(char *statbuf)
{
    uv_stat_t *s;
    s = (uv_stat_t*)statbuf;
    return (double)s->st_ctim.tv_sec + (double)s->st_ctim.tv_nsec * 1e-9;
}

And it's called with

ccall(:jl_stat_ctime,   Float64, (Ptr{UInt8},), buf)

I'd like to simplify this.

I'd like a type

type FineComputerTime
    seconds::Int
    nanoseconds::Int
end

And a way to fill it in using the stat buffer.

Can anyone offer some tips? The c code keeps confusing me.
