- Subject: [ECOS] time_t overflow problem
Hi,
Are there any thoughts about the time_t overflow problem in the eCos
community and among the eCos developers (time will roll over in the year
2038 as long as time_t is defined as a 32 bit integer). Our customers are
beginning to question this problem since some embedded devices have a very
long lifetime.
Best Regards
