** The following expression rounds twice, which means

** the result may not be the closest to the true answer.
|
|
** For example, suppose time_t is 64-bit signed int,
|
|
** long_double is IEEE 754 double with default rounding,
|
|
** time1 = 9223372036854775807 and time0 = -1536.
|
|
** Then the true difference is 9223372036854777343,
|
|
** which rounds to 9223372036854777856
|
|
** with a total error of 513.
|
|
** But delta overflows to -9223372036854774273,
|
|
** which rounds to -9223372036854774784, and correcting
|
|
** this by subtracting 2 * (long_double) hibit
|
|
** (i.e. by adding 2**64 = 18446744073709551616)
|
|
** yields 9223372036854776832, which
|
|
** rounds to 9223372036854775808
|
|
** with a total error of 1535 instead.
|
|
** This problem occurs only with very large differences.
|
|
** It's too painful to fix this portably.
|
|
** We are not alone in this problem;
|
|
** many C compilers round twice when converting
|
|
** large unsigned types to small floating types,
|
|
** so if time_t is unsigned the "return delta" above
|
|
** has the same double-rounding problem.
