GetTickCount使用的注意事项

最近在做一个项目,wince下面的短信接收模块.

 

其中我使用GetTickCount()来延时等待.如下

 

            uint dwStart = 0, dwStop = 0;
           
            dwStart = GetTickCount();
            dwStop = dwStart;
            while (dwStop - ReadTotalTimeout < dwStart)
            {
                //处理过程....
                dwStop = GetTickCount();
            }

 

经调试程序,如果readtotaltimeout值又点大,再加wince系统刚开机时,则会出现dwstop-readtotaltimeout由于负数在无符号下表示会出现最高为1,则表示非常大的一个数,查MSDN得知.

 

The resolution is limited to the resolution of the system timer. This value is also affected by adjustments made by the GetSystemTimeAdjustment function.

The elapsed time is stored as a DWORD value. Therefore, the time will wrap around to zero if the system is run continuously for 49.7 days
