Line 82: :No. Applications frequently assume that days are exactly 86400 seconds long. Leap seconds are implemented by "stretching" one time_t second over two real seconds. -- [[user:intgr\|intgr]] <small>[[user talk:intgr\|[talk]]]</small> 08:02, 4 June 2013 (UTC) :<tt>time_t</tt> does not ''typically'' reflect leap seconds, although in principle it could. :(With that said, [[Posix]] requires that <tt>time_t</tt> not reflect leap seconds, which is one reason most implementations don't.) : [But with that said, I believe that computer systems could handle leap seconds much more cleanly ''if'' <tt>time_t</tt> did explicitly reflect leap seconds, but that's another story.] —[[User:scs\|Steve Summit]] ([[User talk:scs\|talk]]) 16:20, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
