Hi,
I've just been looking at the time op, and what it returns is somewhat
platform specific.
* On Win32, it's the number of seconds since January 1, 1601
If I remember correctly, some parts of Windows use 100ns ticks since
1601 to represent time. Not sure if computers were in common use in the
17th century, though.
* In other codepaths, it appears to be the number of seconds since
January 1, 1970.
I'm thinking we should correct the Win32 version to do the same as the
others for consistency? Or should we keep these platform specific and
make code that cares check what OS we are on and work it out (don't like
this option so much, since we're meant to be abstracting the OS away...)
Opinions?
+1 for using seconds since 1970. I can adjust this if you guys agree.
