Subject: [PATCH v3 8/8] Use uintmax_t for timestamps
Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2017 22:59:01 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b80136aa71dca8d6e6e977e0aa8b28228529ec7a.1492721487.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1492721487.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Previously, we used `unsigned long` for timestamps. This was only a good
choice on Linux, where we know implicitly that `unsigned long` is what is
used for `time_t`.
However, we want to use a different data type for timestamps for two
reasons:
- there is nothing that says that `unsigned long` should be the same data
type as `time_t`, and indeed, on 64-bit Windows for example, it is not:
`unsigned long` is 32-bit but `time_t` is 64-bit.
- even on 32-bit Linux, where `unsigned long` (and thereby `time_t`) is
32-bit, we *want* to be able to encode timestamps in Git that are
currently absurdly far in the future, *even if* the system library is
not able to format those timestamps into date strings.
So let's just switch to the maximal integer type available, which should
be at least 64-bit for all practical purposes these days. It certainly
cannot be worse than `unsigned long`, so...
