integer - What happens after 2038-1-19? -
starting epoch time
1 january 1970 00:00:00
and counting limit 32-bit signed integer can reach, day when reach limit of counting time (in computer, of course) 2038-1-19, given in answer matt howells.
a 32-bit signed integer using 1970-1-1 epoch can represent dates 2038-1-19, on date wrap around 1901-12-13
if wraps around date, solution count time forward instead of wrapping date? given in wikipedia
there no universal solution year 2038 problem.
i don't feel comfortable this! there must thought solution problem. understand cause not using 64-bit integer in first place (which give 292 billion years relax!): not many machines (could any?) handle 64-bit integers time. , switching 64-bit integer now has own problems. solution this?
