one would hope that most programmers were intelligent and used time_t,
rather than making assumptions. such hope, unfortunately, might be
futile.
The problem is that time_t is a hack. And an ugly one at that.
That's not the real problem. The problem is that time_t gets mapped to
a specific size by the *compiler* rather than the *linker*.
Consequently, 2 libraries can be compiled perfectly correctly and
*still* fail to interoperate because one library thinks time_t is
32-bits and the other thinks time_t is 64 bits.
I believe that this is the kind of thing that LLVM was supposed to
alleviate:
