What's the best replacement for timeGetTime to avoid wrap-around?
- by phjr
timeGetTime seems to be quite good to query for system time. However, its return value is 32-bit only, so it wraps around every 49 days approx.
It's not too hard to detect the rollover in calling code, but it adds some complexity, and (worse) requires keeping a state.
Is there some replacement for timeGetTime that would not have this wrap-around problem (probably by returning a 64-bit value), and have roughly the same precision and cost?
