-Subject: [PATCH] Make HgfsConvertFromNtTimeNsec aware of 64-bit time_t on i386
-
-I verified that this function behaves as expected on x86_64, i386 with
-32-bit time_t, and i386 with 64-bit time_t for the following values of
-ntTtime:
-
-UNIX_EPOCH-1, UNIX_EPOCH, UNIX_EPOCH+1, UNIX_S32_MAX-1, UNIX_S32_MAX,
-UNIX_S32_MAX+1, UNIX_S32_MAX*2+1
-
-I did not verify whether the use of Div643264 is optimal, performance
-wise.
