new problems with time.h

Hi,

There is perhaps a problem in some cases when trying to use time.h
As suggested by Masa a few months ago, I ran mkincld.c in cint and
transferred the resulting header files in $ROOTSYS/cint/include.
This cleaned up some problems but there remains one.
After doing a #include <time.h> in the interpreter, the following macro
doesn't work :

{
  time_t tt, gts1;
  double sampleRate;
  tt = time(NULL);
  gts1    = mktime(gmtime(&tt));
  sampleRate = 2.e+4;
}

namely, it says :

root [31] .x FrTest.C
Error: sampleRate already declared as different type
FILE:/big_data/virgo/users/buskulic/virgo_dev/vega/v0.1/test/./FrTest.C
LINE:6
*** Interpreter error recovered ***

When one replaces the sampleRate=2.e+4 statement by a printf :

{
  time_t tt, gts1;
  double sampleRate;
  sampleRate=0;
  tt = time(NULL);
  gts1    = mktime(gmtime(&tt));

  printf("%f\n", sampleRate);
}

one gets a Syntax error :

Error: Syntax error
FILE:/big_data/virgo/users/buskulic/virgo_dev/vega/v0.1/test/./FrTest.C
LINE:8

The strange thing is that if you execute the instructions interactively,
everything works...

Does somebody have an explanation ? Seems to have something to do with
the way include files are loaded ?

Cheers

Damir
