[C6424] RTS mktime() stops working year 2036 (runtime libary v6.1.9 )

M.A.M

Hi,

My customer wonder about a future proof solution as workaround to the existing RTS functions in Time.h.
Any plans or workarounds that you can mention?

"I am using the DSP mktime() function in the time.h header to a time module on my DSP, but as far as I understand it, mktime() is only working until year 2036, since it is the maximum count of seconds a variable of type unsigned int can hold (Seconds from 1900 to 2036).

That is not so long out in the future, do you know if there is a good alternative to this function? "

I am checking our internal plans on this.

I filed record id SDSCM00036245 in the SDOWP system to request that the time functions be improved so they'll continue to work past 2036. Feel free to query status with the SDOWP link below in my sig.

Thanks and regards,
