What steps will reproduce the problem?
// Get the value of
time.Unix(-0x7FFFFFFBF5184BFB, -0x8000000000000000).Year() // good -292277022399
// and compare it to the one just below
time.Unix(-0x7FFFFFFBF5184BFC, -0x8000000000000000).Year() // bad 292277026854
You can play with it here : http://play.golang.org/p/SnAdKtD-_y
What is the expected output?
Year should be in the same order as the timestamp
What do you see instead?
Year overflows
Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?
gc/bin/go tool 6g
Which operating system are you using?
Linux 64bits
Which version are you using? (run 'go version')
go version go1.1.1 linux/amd64
Please provide any additional information below.
It might be completely minor but I could imagine some security issues in validation
functions checking if the year of a given date is in the past.
