My biggest problem is that this is just getting more and more complex, and the conversation is almost impossible to follow. To the best of my knowledge (from trying to follow the conversation), at this point, we are talking about:
Apr_busec_time_t and apr_busec_span_t
So, simple question: What is a busec? I obviously know the answer, it is a binary usec. How many of APR users do you honestly expect to look at busec and think that?
As wrowe noted in one of the other recent messages on this thread, option 2 looks like the leading contender based on the votes in STATUS (unless there's a significant change in the votes soon). That would give us names like apr_utime_t and apr_uspan_t.
Now, we are also talking about having macros to convert to and from decimal time values. So, that would essentially be:
Fortunately, none of the proposals in STATUS have a decimal time component. It's something that's been discussed on the list, but it doesn't affect the proposals or votes.
