Doesn't it only pick C? Negative leap seconds make POSIX time skip a second.

Doesn't it only pick C? Negative leap seconds make POSIX time skip a second.
- amiga386 2y agoPOSIX time_t still ticked, but the interval between the ticks was 0s, rather than 1s or 2s. It preserves A (exactly 86400 ticks per calendar day) and C (remains in alignment with UTC) by abandoning B (each tick has a fixed duration)
- brewmarche 2y agoOne could also make ticks on such a day last 86400/86401 or 86400/86399 seconds, keeping the tick duration fixed but only for a given day (a relaxed version of B)
