That would be the DLL that exports the function. :o) Anyway, even if it is used, if used with understanding of the data value range it can used safely. I have used it safely (as have many coders) many times in the past when manipulating 64 bit numbers associated with QueryPerformanceCounter would have been overkill. joe -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-admin@...ts.netsys.com [mailto:full-disclosure-admin@...ts.netsys.com] On Behalf Of bashis Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 3:35 PM To: full-disclosure@...ts.netsys.com Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] Windoze almost managed to 200x repeat 9/11 Hi list, Regarding "GetTickCount()" [1] it might be a good idea to schedule reboot of Windows boxes within 49.7 days, just in case.. Even M$ folks do misstakes [2] when they are using this function. Hm, i'm wonder what this is used for.. ? ;-) C:\WINDOWS\system32>find "GetTickCount" kernel32.dll ---------- KERNEL32.DLL GetTickCount C:\WINDOWS\system32> Well, M$ never stop to suprise me.. ;-) Have a nice day /bashis [1] http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/bas e/gettickcount.asp [2] http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;318152 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823273 _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
