I would suggest that you also take into account whether time_t is signed or
not (more difficult perhaps). Some platforms use signed time_t to allow
representation of dates prior to 1970-01-01, while others make this signed.
Some other platforms (S/390 for example) have retained time_t as 32-bits but
have a time64_t for 64 bits. It might be useful to account for this.
The goal of this small series is just to port some existing tests to
the new unit test framework. I think it's a different topic to improve
the existing tests to take into account whether time_t is signed or
not. But thanks for the info.
