How to remove the first 3 bytes and last one byte

问题:

code :

s64 end_time;
struct timespec ts;
getrawmonotonic(&ts);
end_time = timespec_to_ns(&ts);

How to remove the first three bytes from end_time and last one byte from it?? I want to store it in a uint32. could someone tell me how to do that??

uint32 latency;
fscanf(fp, "%lu\n", latency);  //fp  is reading the end_time and storing in latency.
latency = (uint32) (latency >> 8) & 0xFFFFFFFF;

How about:

u32 end_time32 = (u32) (end_time >> 24) & 0xFFFFFFFF;

Depending on your definition of first and last byte it could also be:

u32 end_time32 = (u32) (end_time >> 8) & 0xFFFFFFFF;

Example:

s64 end_time = 0x1234567890ABCDEF;
u32 end_time32 = (u32) (end_time >> 24) & 0xFFFFFFFF;

// end_time32 is now: 0x34567890

s64 end_time = 0x1234567890ABCDEF;
u32 end_time32 = (u32) (end_time >> 8) & 0xFFFFFFFF;

// end_time32 is now: 0x7890ABCD

Edit

After your updated question:

s64 latency;
fscanf(fp, "%lld", latency);  //fp  is reading the end_time and storing in latency.
u32 latency32 = (uint32) (latency >> 8) & 0xFFFFFFFF;

I assume by "first" and "last" you mean "most significant" and "least significant", respectively.

I.e., you have the 8 bytes:

76543210

and want to map it to the 4 bytes:

4321

This is easiest done by a shift, a mask, and a (truncating) cast:

const uint32_t time32 = (uint32_t) ((end_time >> 8) & 0xffffffff);

The mask is very likely to be optimized out by the compiler but makes it very clear what's going on.

You can do that with bit shifting. You have to shift the value 8 bits (= 1 byte) to the right, which is done with the >> operator:

uint32_t t = (uint32_t)(end_time >> 8);
//                               ^^
//                          bit-shifting

In the following, the bytes are visualized for a better understanding. If the value end_time consisted of eight bytes with the symbolic values A B C D E F G H, what you want is D E F G:

end_time:                     A B C D E F G H
end_time >> 8:                0 A B C D E F G
(uint32_t)(end_time >> 8):            D E F G
