Why is offset typed as "chrono_t long _offset" ?

[sofian]

Seems like a mistake. It should just be "chrono_t" (?)

Probably an error. I am surprised the compiler did not pick it up as a warning...

[sofian]

In fact, I think it creates an unsigned long long int which is probably something like a 64 bits integer :-P

[sofian]

It is possible that what was meant originally here was to have a signed long integer in order to be able to add a negative offset. Is this something that would be needed?

Looking back at the code ... I'm not even sure we need to have a separate variable offset to manage offsets, cause we might be able to do everything with the _startTime variable. I'll look into it.
