I am using the FpTimes function from the BaseUnix package. The documentation says it returns -1 on an error, otherwise the number of clock ticks since boot time. However, the return type of this function is TClock, which is unsigned.
This, if I say: X := BaseUnix.FpTimes(T); if (X <> -1) then ... I get a compiler-time warning (range check error while evaluating constants). Should the return type not be unsigned? Is checking the result against -1 OK? -- Bruce CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
