Subject: Definition of time_t changed from signed to unsigned...
Hello,
I am in the process of upgrading the kernel version on a platform that I
work on. I noticed that the time_t definition has been changed in the newer
version of the OS. It used to be a simple "long". But it is now an "unsigned
long". Basically it changed from a signed to an unsigned definition.
The problem is that the timezone subsystem seems to expect time_t to be
signed. There are a number of functions that only work if time_t is signed.
E.g. function localsub() in file localtime.c.
My question is: am I just using an obsolete version of the timezone source
or should I just change the time_t typedef in the OS?
I quickly scanned the latest source of localtime.c and did not see any
changes regarding to how time_t is declared.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
