#define APR_TIME_T_FMT APR_INT64_T_FMT or APR_UINT64_T_FMT

Hi,

I'm looking at

#define APR_TIME_T_FMT APR_INT64_T_FMT

in apr.hnw, and wonder if it should be

#define APR_TIME_T_FMT APR_UINT64_T_FMT

Yes, that's how I understood that as well. Which of course is quite  
legitimate (i.e. I'd be willing to bet many people on this list were  
born in "negative" time ;-).

Depends, can only be less than zero if dealing with pre-1970 dates.

If you are talking about apr_time_interval_t, of course it can run negative.,

typedef apr_int64_t apr_time_t

AFAIK, these things can legitimately be less than zero.
