Alan Conway commented on PROTON-1981:
-------------------------------------
Timekeeping is really not our business - I can see why Andrew added it to the C
proactor for our own use, since portable time is such a pain in C, but in other
bindings we should be using the language-standard time APIs. C++03 is no better
than C (sigh) but C++11 is, and Go has excellent time support. In any case we
should definitely make sure any C++ time APIs we have lumbered ourselves with
behave as documented.
The Go binding uses the standard Go Time type, and does all the required
conversions to/from AMQP-epoch-ms-time when encoding/decoding. The Go Time type
cleverly includes both a wall-clock *and* a monotonic timestamp and
automatically Does the Right Thing when you compute durations or format
printable time-stamps, so you can pretty much forget about that distinction in
Go.

> Key: PROTON-1981
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1981
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cpp-binding, proton-c
> Affects Versions: proton-c-0.26.0
> Reporter: Cliff Jansen
> Assignee: Cliff Jansen
> Priority: Major
>
> Uses MONOTONIC instead of REALTIME, hence not anchored to UNIX epoch as per
> AMQP standard.
>
> Used by proton::timestamp::now()
>
> Can take you back to 1970 on Centos7. Other time travel destinations
> possible.
