Re: [patch,fortran] Fix corner case where consecutive calls to date_and_time can return times out of sequence (PR30015)


Tobias,

The change by Mat Cross is therefore:
- Moving the gettimeofday() block up in the file
- Using the result of gettimeofday() for lt and value[7], instead of
using time() for lt and gettimeofday() for value[7]
date_and_time.c |
I am sorry but I have stared at the patch and the explanation and am none the wiser :-)

There is obviously something that I am missing in the mechanics of time() and gettimeofday(). I need an explanation as to where this time shifting comes from, I think. Is it simply that time() and gettimeofday() are different? If so why?

I am willing to put some time in to review this but if somebody else 'sees' it, please go ahead and do it!

Paul
