[Mingw-users] difftime() broken?

[Pete M. <mad...@mi...>]

Hi folks,

I've been using mngw for years along with code::blocks.
I recently upgraded mingw and after doing that my application started 
acting wonky.

I've been tracking down bugs here and there, but the latest is that 
diffetime() appears to be broken.

Stepping through the app in gdb I watched to see reasonable values go 
into difftime(t1, t2), but it always seems to return t1.

For example:

int snfLOGmgr::SecsSinceStartup() {
     return (int) difftime(Timestamp(), StartupTime);
}

If StartupTime is 1388157426, and Timestamp() returns 1388157546, 
difftime should return 120.

Instead it returns 1388157546!!

Has anybody else run into this? Googling for a solution or mention of 
the problem has been useless.

THANKS!!
_M
