A improved Version would be this:

cTimer::cTimer(bool Instant, bool Pause,cChannel *Channel=NULL)
{
  startTime = stopTime = 0;
  recording = pending = inVpsMargin = false;
  flags = tfNone;
  if (Instant)
     SetFlags(tfActive | tfInstant);
  channel = Channel?Channel:Channels.GetByNumber(cDevice::CurrentChannel());
  time_t t = time(NULL);
  struct tm tm_r;
  struct tm *now = localtime_r(&t, &tm_r);
  day = SetTime(t, 0);
  weekdays = 0;
  start = now->tm_hour * 100 + now->tm_min;
  stop = now->tm_hour * 60 + now->tm_min + Setup.InstantRecordTime;
  stop = (stop / 60) * 100 + (stop % 60);
  if (stop >= 2400)
     stop -= 2400;
  priority = Pause ? Setup.PausePriority : Setup.DefaultPriority;
  lifetime = Pause ? Setup.PauseLifetime : Setup.DefaultLifetime;
  *file = 0;
  summary = NULL;
  event = NULL;
  if (Instant && channel)
     snprintf(file, sizeof(file), "%s%s", Setup.MarkInstantRecord ? "@" 
: "", *Setup.NameInstantRecord ? Setup.NameInstantRecord : channel->Name());
}
