Duh! Isn't UTC monotonic as well, even if it sometimes "changes speed"? AFAIR leap seconds mean a minute with either 59 or 61 seconds, nothing never "jumps" ahead or behind… but I should probably refresh my UTC a bit. OTOH TAI seems nice and good and has an "official" 64 bit representation; DJB wrote a (now public-domain) library for it too: http://cr.yp.to/libtai.html -- Lapo Luchini - http://lapo.it/ _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
