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