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.
You have to have some way to get from APR's internal version of time to
something that an external program can use, which means converting to a
value that uses decimal time.
But that doesn't require adding a "decimal microseconds" type.
We already have the conversion capability, in the form of
apr_time_sec() and apr_time_usec(). With those macros, an
app can put a decimal time in whatever representation it
needs: integer, struct timeval, custom struct, or whatever.
