Elapsed time format in prompt changed in TCC 25

[tkoskine]

Hi,

I upgraded from Take Command / TCC v24 to v25 and noticed that formatting (and value calculation) of elapsed time ($=) in prompt has changed.

Old format in v24 was "1.22.33,44". New format seems to be "1223344". In addition, the value does not make sense.

Help in v25 says

=	The elapsed time (in milliseconds) since the previous command was started.

However, even simple "echo foo" commands gives value over 80000 (80seconds?).

See a screenshot (from http://tkoskine.me/tcc/tcc-24-vs-25-prompt-2019-09-03.png)

Prompt is set to
PROMPT=$e[1;35m[$e[1;36m$m $e[1;32m%LOGONSERVER%$e[0m$b$r$e[1;35m]$e[0m $~ ($=)$_$e[1;35m%@printftp[]%@execstr[perl c:\work\scripts\vcs-detect.pl]$e[0m$g


I assume this is either a documentation or code implementation bug? The elapsed time value in v25 would make sense if it is in microseconds.

I don't see anything like that. What is your PROMPT variable?

I don't see any issue with the timer here, but I don't have your Perl script & UDF.

Do you see the same problem with a simpler prompt (such as "prompt $p $= $g')?

Same problem with simpler prompt:

v24:
> prompt $p $= $g

c:\work 0.00.00,82 >
c:\work 0.00.01,15 >

I am running Finnish version of Windows 10, if that matters.

Time and decimal settings in TCC seem to matter.

I see the above behaviour if I set Localication /Time to Country, Decimal to Auto and Thousands to Auto.

Setting Decimal and Thousands to "Period" I get same view as vefatica:
> prompt $p $= $g

c:\work 0.013 >
c:\work 0.719 >
c:\work 1.17 >
c:\work 1.69 >
c:\work 2.129 >
c:\work 2.366 >
c:\work 2.558 >
c:\work 2.966 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.018 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.013 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.029 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.013 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.012 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.012 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.012 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.013 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.013 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.012 >

One more example, with options:

TCC v24:
> prompt $p $= $g

c:\work 0.00.00.01 >
c:\work 0.00.00.56 >
c:\work 0.07.01.59 >setdos /g,

c:\work 0.00.00,01 >setdos /g.

c:\work 0.00.00.00 >setdos /g-

c:\work 0.00.00,00 >setdos /gx

c:\work 0.00.00,00 >setdos /gfoo

c:\work 0.00.00,00 >setdos /g,,

c:\work 0.00.00,00 >setdos /g.

c:\work 0.00.00.00 >

TCC v25:
> prompt $p $= $g

c:\work 0.012 >setdos /g,

c:\work 32885 >setdos /g.

c:\work 0.018 >setdos /gx

c:\work 12124 >setdos /g;

c:\work 16821 >setdos /g.

c:\work 0.013 >setdos /g-

c:\work 12799 >setdos /gfoo

c:\work 12045 >

Do you have the same formatting problem with the TIMER command?

 

[tkoskine]

Yes, same problem there.

TCC v25:
> prompt $p $= $g

c:\work 11806 >timer
Timer 1 on: 18.22.46

c:\work 11985 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 12769 >timer off
Timer 1 off: 18.22.50 Elapsed: 0.00.04,11403

c:\work 12337 >setdos /g.

c:\work 0.012 >timer
Timer 1 on: 18.22.58

c:\work 0.012 >echo foo
foo

c:\work 0.013 >timer off
Timer 1 off: 18.23.01 Elapsed: 0.00.03.119

c:\work 0.012 >

Same problem, here.
Also, any functions in the PROMPT variable are no longer expanded.

 

[rconn]

Same problem, here.

Fixed in 25.0.17.

Also, any functions in the PROMPT variable are no longer expanded.

Not reproducible here (and not changed recently). Can you provide an example?

 

[tkoskine]

Fixed in 25.0.17.

Thanks. Elapsed time formatting now works as expected.
