Thank you for that. I'll resubmit changing both instances.
In this case, the POSIX spec requires nt_nsec to be a long (
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/time.h.html
). Either way, a good optimizer should convert this into an unsigned
compare. My early years in 6502 assembly sort-of shapes my thinking, as
I try to write higher level code as similarly to the assembly I presume
the compiler will emit. But if the project has a strong preference to
avoid casts, I can change it.
Thanks!
Daniel
