Bug #: 15524
Summary: clock() behaves incorrectly on overflow
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: bugdal@aerifal.cx
CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
According to the Austin Group interpretation for issue 686
(http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=686), the current behavior of clock()
on 32-bit systems, wrapping when it overflows the range of clock_t, is
non-conforming to the requirements of ISO C, which require returning
(clock_t)-1 if the result is not representable.
