Hi, trying to include time.h or ti/posix/ccs/time.h and call mktime, but I get the following compile error:

#102 timespec has already been defined in the current scope

#102 itimerspec has already been defined in the current scope

How can I resolve this? Is there an example to follow?

Hello,

I have brought this thread to the attention of the compiler experts. Please note that due to the local holiday, responses may be delayed.

To call mktime, you only need to #include <time.h> . I mention this because the C2000 compiler not does support all of the RTS features related to timespec. The name itimerspec is not mentioned in the C standard.

Thanks and regards,

Hi George,

Thanks for the response. I have already tried both #include <time.h> OR #include <ti/posix/ccs/time.h>, and both give me the same error

#102 timespec has already been defined in the current scope

#102 itimerspec has already been defined in the current scope

To understand where these names are first defined, use the compiler option --gen_preprocessor_listing. It generates a file with the same name as the source file, but the file extension is changed to .rl. To understand the format of this file, please search for the option in the C28x compiler manual. Once you see that, the cause of the problem is often clear.

Thanks and regards,
