As far as I remember, and as far as I can tell, what you are saying violates both the unix and POSIX definition of time_t. So to check, I pulled out both of my K&R editions of "The C programming Language" and I did a quick google on time_t, and all of the sources I have found concur that time_t is the number of seconds since 1/1/1970 UTC without regard to leap seconds. When did this change? -Chuck Harris _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
