Windows C : absolute memory address to read system time from?

Time:12-12

I'm trying to find system time without needing any function/system calls. I seem to remember Windows having an absolute address that a giant struct sits in, which is constantly updated with various system info including time...but google isn't giving me anything...did I imagine this or is it a thing?

CodePudding user response:

KUSER_SHARED_DATA @ 0x7FFE0000 but the documented functions just read from there anyway so all you gain is the possibility of your application breaking in Windows vNext.
