typedef gint32 GTime;
Simply a replacement for time_t. It has been deprecated
since it is not equivalent to time_t
on 64-bit platforms with a 64-bit time_t.
Unrelated to GTimer.
Note that GTime is defined to always be a 32bit integer,
unlike time_t which may be 64bit on some systems.
Therefore, GTime will overflow in the year 2038, and
you cannot use the address of a GTime variable as argument
to the UNIX time() function. Instead, do the following:
