[PATCH] Work around GNU/Linux timestamp glitch

Without this patch, Bash can hand out user-visible timestamps that are out of order, because on GNU/Linux the 'time' function uses a different clock than file timestamps and the 'gettimeofday' function. See . * include/posixtime.h (getnow): Ne

$SECONDS and timeout values use realtime `gettimeofday()`

We have systems that start off with inaccurate clocks and at some point after the boot process synchronize with the network and jump forward in time. This has the potential to break any scripts that are sitting in loops, calculating a timeout based on the $SECONDS variable. The current behavior usi

Bash not portable to C23

I see that Bash won't compile with a C23 compiler, since it still uses old-style function definitions which C23 no longer supports. Is there any effort and/or interest in fixing this portability problem in Bash? It's OK these days to assume C89 or later, so it's OK for Bash to switch to new-st
