Well, obviously the call to time isn't doing a thing to struct tm tt.
You need to explicitly set it.

   struct tm tt;
   time_t lt;

   time(&lt);
   tt = *localtime(&lt);
   d = ...

Or (better)

   struct tm *tt;
   time_t lt;

   time(&lt);
   tt = localtime(&lt);
   d = tt->tm_mday;
   m = tt->tm_mon;
