The problem is... I have a value's somewhere that has been assigned from 'ticks', like: ptr -> value = ticks; at an other moment I need to do something like... age = boottime + ( ticks - ptr -> value ) / factor; The problem in the second case however is that I can not seem to get to 'ticks' as it is userland code...
