Putting them in the unix package means they won't be available for Windows (where I needed them the most). >> I use Int64 for Microseconds, to avoid truncation when Int is 32 bits. >> 2^31-1 microseconds is only 35 minutes and 47.483647 seconds. >> Perhaps I should just use Int and Int64, and be sure to document what >> units are used. > > We should use whatever the underlying OS uses.

For SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO, Windows and Unix use different representations. Windows uses DWORD (unsigned 32-bit) milliseconds, while Unix uses struct timeval, which has microsecond precision. -Joey _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
