Esteban,
It is best not to cross-post between multiple lists in general, and in this case the email address used (
email@hidden) is not valid.
thanks for the tip,
honestly { maitri ^^ }
cann't we just count the minutes after the 1st of January of 1970 instead of seconds after it?
No. In general it is not possible to redefine existing programming interfaces after the fact without disrupting existing applications.
If one were to define a new interface, it might make sense to partition the units into minutes and seconds as you describe.
We've already bumped time_t to be a 64-bit value on x86_64 which extends the resolution quite a bit further into the future for that platform.
I know about that solution... but what about 32-bit computers?
...it is a more sane way (IMO) to solve it than passing from the bits in which it is counted and therefore DOUBLING that variable.
Wouldn't it be more than double?
Kevin
i am not a math major... i barely stay studying in the university of costa rica and in the véritas university...
i just want to hack (make great code)... and eat, and pay for some expenses... that is why i am also looking for a job (with a so-so luck).
