+
+ For each time stamp T, this code assumes that either:
+
+ * T.tv_nsec is in the range 0..999999999; or
+ * T.tv_sec corresponds to a valid leap second on a host that supports
+ leap seconds, and T.tv_nsec is in the range 1000000000..1999999999; or
+ * T.tv_sec is the minimum time_t value and T.tv_nsec is -1; or
+ T.tv_sec is the maximum time_t value and T.tv_nsec is 2000000000.
+ This allows for special struct timespec values that are less or
+ greater than all possible valid time stamps.
+
+ In all these cases, it is safe to subtract two tv_nsec values and
+ convert the result to integer without worrying about overflow on
+ any platform of interest to the GNU project, since all such
+ platforms have 32-bit int or wider.
+
+ Replacing "(int) (a.tv_nsec - b.tv_nsec)" with something like
+ "a.tv_nsec < b.tv_nsec ? -1 : a.tv_nsec > b.tv_nsec" would cause
+ this function to work in some cases where the above assumption is
+ violated, but not in all cases (e.g., a.tv_sec==1, a.tv_nsec==-2,
+ b.tv_sec==0, b.tv_nsec==999999999) and is arguably not worth the
+ extra instructions. Using a subtraction has the advantage of
+ detecting some invalid cases on platforms that detect integer
+ overflow.
+
+ The (int) cast avoids a gcc -Wconversion warning. */
