31    For each time stamp T, this code assumes that either:
32 
33      * T.tv_nsec is in the range 0..999999999; or
34      * T.tv_sec corresponds to a valid leap second on a host that supports
35        leap seconds, and T.tv_nsec is in the range 1000000000..1999999999; or
36      * T.tv_sec is the minimum time_t value and T.tv_nsec is -1; or
37        T.tv_sec is the maximum time_t value and T.tv_nsec is 2000000000.
38        This allows for special struct timespec values that are less or
39        greater than all possible valid time stamps.
40 
41    In all these cases, it is safe to subtract two tv_nsec values and
42    convert the result to integer without worrying about overflow on
43    any platform of interest to the GNU project, since all such
44    platforms have 32-bit int or wider.
45 
46    Replacing "(int) (a.tv_nsec - b.tv_nsec)" with something like
47    "a.tv_nsec < b.tv_nsec ? -1 : a.tv_nsec > b.tv_nsec" would cause
48    this function to work in some cases where the above assumption is
49    violated, but not in all cases (e.g., a.tv_sec==1, a.tv_nsec==-2,
50    b.tv_sec==0, b.tv_nsec==999999999) and is arguably not worth the
51    extra instructions.  Using a subtraction has the advantage of
52    detecting some invalid cases on platforms that detect integer
53    overflow.
54 
55    The (int) cast avoids a gcc -Wconversion warning.  */
