For each time stamp T, this code assumes that either: * T.tv_nsec is in the range 0..999999999; or * T.tv_sec corresponds to a valid leap second on a host that supports leap seconds, and T.tv_nsec is in the range 1000000000..1999999999; or * T.tv_sec is the minimum time_t value and T.tv_nsec is -1; or T.tv_sec is the maximum time_t value and T.tv_nsec is 2000000000. This allows for special struct timespec values that are less or greater than all possible valid time stamps. In all these cases, it is safe to subtract two tv_nsec values and convert the result to integer without worrying about overflow on any platform of interest to the GNU project, since all such platforms have 32-bit int or wider. Replacing "(int) (a.tv_nsec - b.tv_nsec)" with something like "a.tv_nsec < b.tv_nsec ? -1 : a.tv_nsec > b.tv_nsec" would cause this function to work in some cases where the above assumption is violated, but not in all cases (e.g., a.tv_sec==1, a.tv_nsec==-2, b.tv_sec==0, b.tv_nsec==999999999) and is arguably not worth the extra instructions. Using a subtraction has the advantage of detecting some invalid cases on platforms that detect integer overflow. The (int) cast avoids a gcc -Wconversion warning. */ _GL_TIMESPEC_INLINE int timespec_cmp (struct timespec a, struct timespec b) { return (a.tv_sec < b.tv_sec ? -1 : a.tv_sec > b.tv_sec ? 1 : (int) (a.tv_nsec - b.tv_nsec)); } /* Return -1, 0, 1, depending on the sign of A.
