The fields are meant for nanoseconds. The y2038 will definitely be solved by time-shifting or making time_t unsigned. In any way nothing of importance here and now. Especially since there won't be many systems which are running today and which have a 32-bit time_t be used then. For the rest I'm sure that in 37 years there will be the one or the other ABI change. -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
