[previous] MISRA-C:2004  Rule  20.12:  (Required) [next] The time handling functions of library <time.h> shall not be used.
Includes time, strftime. This library is associated with clock times. Various aspects are implementation dependent or unspecified, such as the formats of times. If any of the facilities of time.h are used then the exact implementation for the compiler being used must be determined, and a deviation raised.

Example Code: 



#include <time.h>                          /* MISRA Violation */

#include "misra.h"
#include "m2cmex.h"

extern S16 test_2012( void )
{
  S16    r = 0;
  time_t xtime;
  
  if ( time( &xtime ) == ( time_t )-1 )    /* MISRA Violation */
  {
      r = -1;
  }

  return r;
}
