Description James Cape 2003-01-07 05:52:18 UTC 
Summary says it all, using

typedef gint32 GTime;

prevents the programmer from using GTime as a replacement for time_t in
functions (like localtime_r) without typecasting.

typedef time_t GTime;

should probably be what is used.

If time_t is gint32 universally, then this -Wall warning fix shouldn't
break ABI compatibility (but I'm probably wrong)...

time_t is definitely not universally 32bit.
