Whereas this is true, i still do not see the problem here really. lynx uses (PTR)-1 itself, at least in src/tidy_tls.c, and it even seems to have been written by Thomas Dickey himself!?! Until absolutely necessary i will not exchange a builtin fixed constant with some symbol that the linker must resolve dynamically! I mean, for nothing??? |bye, |//mirabilos |-- |“It is inappropriate to require that a time represented as | seconds since the Epoch precisely represent the number of | seconds between the referenced time and the Epoch.” | -- IEEE Std 1003.1b-1993 (POSIX) Section B.2.2.2 I would really like to have CLOCK_TAI in the standard, getting rid of leapsecond noise in calculations. ('Being all in favour of keeping UTC aligned with the sun, whatever this means. However, it seems we will not see leap seconds for a couple of more years, if i read that right: I believe there will be several years between the the last leap second and the next, as there was between December 31, 1998 and December 31, 2005. The IERS publishes a long-term prediction of the average rotation rate of the Earth, which they update in their Bulletin A each week. The August 6, 2020, issue of Bulletin A contains this line: UT1-UTC = -0.2147 - 0.00010 (MJD - 59075) - (UT2-UT1) UT2 captures the seasonal change in the length of day, so it can be ignored for long-term estimates. The important number, therefore, is -0.00010, which I will call the UT1 slope. The June 9, 2016, issue of Bulletin A contains this line: UT1-UTC = -0.1734 - 0.00147 (MJD - 57556) - (UT2-UT1) Which has UT1 slope equal to -0.00147. Since then the value of UT1 slope has increased steadily to its present value. It is larger now than it has been at any time since January 6, 2005, which is the oldest issue of Bulletin A that I have been able to locate. Based on the current value of -0.00010 I estimate that the next leap second will be on December 31, 2025, an interval of 9 years, which is longer than the previous long interval of 7 years.
