From 95569e4aa4da405c0df152956a58a119e248143c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Tue, 6 Aug 2024 16:18:36 +1000 Subject: util: Some corrections for timespec_diff_us MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The comment for timespec_diff_us() claims it will wrap after 2^64µs. This is incorrect for two reasons: * It returns a long long, which is probably 64-bits, but might not be * It returns a signed value, so even if it is 64 bits it will wrap after 2^63µs Correct the comment and use an explicitly 64-bit type to avoid that imprecision.
