Subject: [PATCH 03/12] mingw: drop the -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T option
Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2026 14:26:29 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53f1fd576379a7331e827a2384605a1445f85d86.1785939999.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2195.git.1785939999.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
This option was added in fa93bb20d72 (MinGW: Fix stat definitions to
work with MinGW runtime version 4.0, 2013-09-11), i.e. a _long_ time
ago. So long, in fact, that it still targeted MinGW. But we switched to
mingw-w64 in 2015, which seems not to share the problem, and therefore
does not require a fix.
Even worse: This flag is incompatible with UCRT64, which we are about to
support by way of upstreaming `mingw-w64-git` to the MSYS2 project, see
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/26470 for details.
So let's send that option into its well-deserved retirement.
