Synopsis: The time_t variable is only 4 bytes long State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: phk State-Changed-When: Mon Oct 2 12:16:14 PDT 2000 State-Changed-Why: 1. The timezone didn't change, but Daylight savings time ends in the last weekend of october in the CET timezone. 2. It is far too early to decide what to do about time representation past 2038 at this time. 3. If you have unique needed for time representation, you will need unique methods. 4. A good guess is that we'll adopt a 64bit time_t sometime in the next five years (a 30 year margin seems likely). http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=21692 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
