| SUBJECT | Subject: [NYLXS - HANGOUT] c++ question about decimals
|
my C programmings a little rusty and i could use some help
im working on a patch for keepalived i have to modify a portion of the
code that type casts several variables as a unsigned long however I
need to change it to an equivalent the will store it with a decimal
with 2 points of precision, and if possible wont change how other
parts of the code use the same functions with whole numbers does any
one have any suggestions.
by the way in case any one is wondering im working on implementing
centisecond (hundredth) of a second intervals for VRRP per the RFC for
VRRPv3 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5798
so far its going well but there are a few points in the code that are
doing crazy things like setting a sleep timer to 0 seconds which is
what I'm trying to fix now. that being said the rest of the patch
works great i was able to cut my interface failover times in nearly
down from 8 to less than 3 seconds total.
