Although time_t still defaults to 32-bit on + these configurations, this default may change in future versions. This is enabled with the _TIME_BITS preprocessor set to 64 and only supported when LFS (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) is also enabled. It is only enabled for Linux and the full support requires a minimum version of 5.1. |
