57 For each timestamp T, this code assumes that either:
59 * T.tv_nsec is in the range 0..999999999; or
60 * T.tv_sec corresponds to a valid leap second on a host that supports
61 leap seconds, and T.tv_nsec is in the range 1000000000..1999999999; or
62 * T.tv_sec is the minimum time_t value and T.tv_nsec is -1; or
63 T.tv_sec is the maximum time_t value and T.tv_nsec is 2000000000.
64 This allows for special struct timespec values that are less or
65 greater than all possible valid timestamps.
67 In all these cases, it is safe to subtract two tv_nsec values and
68 convert the result to integer without worrying about overflow on
69 any platform of interest to the GNU project, since all such
70 platforms have 32-bit int or wider.
72 Replacing "a.tv_nsec - b.tv_nsec" with something like
73 "a.tv_nsec < b.tv_nsec ? -1 : a.tv_nsec > b.tv_nsec" would cause
74 this function to work in some cases where the above assumption is
75 violated, but not in all cases (e.g., a.tv_sec==1, a.tv_nsec==-2,
76 b.tv_sec==0, b.tv_nsec==999999999) and is arguably not worth the
77 extra instructions. Using a subtraction has the advantage of
78 detecting some invalid cases on platforms that detect integer
79 overflow. */
