Subject: [PATCH] c/96570 - diagnostics for conversions to/from time_t
To: gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org
The following prototypes diagnostics for conversions to/from time_t
where the source/destination does not have sufficient precision for it.
I've lumped this into a new -Wtime_t-conversion for the moment and
didn't bother fixing up the testcase for !ilp32.
This does not diagnose time_t to long conversion on 64bit long
platforms (in anticipation of a problem with -m32), so actual audits
would need to build for 32bit long targets and with 64bit time_t.
The alternative is to implement this with 64bit time_t in mind
(even when it's actually 32bit) and base it solely on types
that would be safe on targets. This get's hard for long vs.
long long then, esp. if typedefs are involved.
Any known problematic constructs out in the wild we'd like to
have test coverage for?
Thanks,
Richard.
