If you can, I'd change the time_t typedef in the OS. Changing an OS-supplied definition is EXTREMELY DUMB. You're risking breaking the OS interfaces. When he said "I am in the process of upgrading the kernel version on a platform that I work on.", it sounded as if he might be one of the developers *of* that platform
In which case it's a very different kettle of fish, I agree. I read the original thread as suggesting just changing the header file available to user code and reacted accordingly - that remains extremely dumb. Changing the OS's own definitions is, of course, completely different. If I've reacted over nothing, I apologise to all concerned. -- Clive D.W.
