<td class="print">I am afraid I cannot completely agree with this
solution. First of all, time stamp mapping is platform-specific. There
are already two mappings that provide unambiguous time stamps: the C#
mapping uses a System.DataTime object and C++ mapping uses the timeval
structure. Thus, the problem Anthony mentioned affects only the
remaining mappings: java, C and XML (and I guess Anthony had in mind the
C mapping in particular). Therefore the solution cannot be a general one
as proposed, because it would reduce functionality of C# and C++
versions of the interface.<br />
<br />
The proposed change is also not backwards compatible. If we already
decide for this kind of change, I would prefer to have a solution that
is not tool-specific. Both java and XML contain well-defined
representations of time stamps: java.util.Date and xsd:dateTime. The
situation is a bit more problematic in case of C, because there's no
standardized time stamp implementation. However, I think it would be
reasonable to use the timeval structure as in case of C++ mapping (and
as proposed by Anthony). The timeval structure is defined in the POSIX
standard (the C++ mapping shall contain a reference to this standard,
but currently it doesn't).</td>

NOTE: A logging event is timestamped. The timestamps are specific to the
language mapping and to the tool used. For example, C# mapping uses
System.DataTime objects and C++ mapping uses the POSIX timeval

choose its timestamp handling. For example, for Java
System.currentTimeMillis() could be used or for C time()."</td>
