| Summary | 0000577: C11 and POSIX fall into disagreement regarding clock_t and time_t | ||||||
| Description | C99 described clock_t and time_t to be arithmetic types, which works with POSIX which requires them to be either integer or real types. However, C11 requires both of them to be real. | ||||||
| Desired Action | I'm not sure what the solution is. Do you think dropping support for integer types would cause a lot of damage to existing code? | ||||||

I haven't yet bought the C11 standard, even though it's now available for a reasonable price [1] [2]. However N1570 indeed says in 7.27.1p3 that /time_t/ is a real type. This directly conflicts with Issue #327 [3] "time_t should be integral". Issue #327 seems to be justified by actual history. (For one piece of anecdotal evidence, my time_t-related code consciously checks and plainly refuses to run if time_t is not integral -- I can't have implementation-defined and magnitude-dependent precision in time_t (7.27.1p4).) I've asked earlier about the C11 rationale [4], but searching the web for it right now only returns my own question. I'll inquire in comp.std.c specifically.

Integer types are real. 6.2.5#17 "The type char, the signed and unsigned integer types, and the enumerated types are collectively called integer types. The integer and real floating types are collectively called real types." |
