Re: Time Resolution

What underlying numerical type should be used to store TAI and UTC types, and at what resolution?

It would be nice if the interface was such that it didn't matter to the user. Couldn't it be an opaque type? And does the resolution have to be standardized? Standardizing on picoseconds is probably safe, but I think it would be better to be able to query about the underlying clock resolution, instead of getting a long sequence of non-significant digits. -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
