Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] rust: time: rename the rem_nanos() divisor
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 19:11:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017111134.22546-2-chenhan0017.work@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017111134.22546-1-chenhan0017.work@gmail.com>
The argument to rem_nanos() is the divisor, while self holds the
dividend. Rename the argument and correct the documentation. Drop the
architecture-specific implementation explanation from the public API
documentation; the argument type already states the divisor's width.
This does not change the function's type or behavior. It is a preparation
for documenting and checking the invalid divisors in the next patch.
