Context is Issue #424 It's simple to change the counters to 64 bits. But a few of the relevant variables are uptime in seconds. Is there a good type to use for them? time_t is misleading. current_time is seconds since ntpd was started not seconds since 1970.
unsigned long current_time; /* seconds since startup */ It gets initialized to 0 and bumped every second by a timer signal handler. 32 bits is enough. (I'm not going to worry about systems being up more than 138 years.) I'd be happy to use a 64 bit type if that makes things cleaner. I don't think we have to worry about conversion from 64 bit time_t. -- These are my opinions.
