Hi all,
I have the following little program (I'm using mingw 3.4.2 (32bit) ):
#include
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
using namespace boost;
using namespace boost::posix_time;
//Time now (since epoch in seconds)...
static const ptime secSinceEpoch( second_clock::local_time() );
//Time now (since epoch in micros)...
static const ptime microsecSinceEpoch( microsec_clock::local_time() );
//Elapsed should be close to zero...
time_duration elapsed = microsecSinceEpoch - secSinceEpoch;
std::cout << "elapsed: " << elapsed.total_milliseconds() << std::endl;
return 0;
}
It outputs: "elapsed: -1240428644900", whereas I expected it to
output a positive value.
It therefore seems that microsec_clock::local_time() wraps. Is 64-bits
a pre-requisite for this library to work correctly or is there some remedy?
Kind regards,
Werner
