Subject: C time_t 2038 problem s-os_lib.ads
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 03:42:16 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8936f386-3fdb-43b3-b912-317906d59631n@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I have noticed that C time_t appears to be Long_integer in Gnat s-os_lib.ads.

Just wondering if it should be 64bit long long as OpenBSD has already moved to long long?

There seemed to be some noise on Twitter about the Linux Kernel side last year but I'm not sure if that ended up just being noise without action or not.

"https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon_2013_time_t/"

p.s. It's interesting that Adas type system avoids this issue mostly (ignoring leap handling pain)
