@node Avoiding the year 2038 problem @section Avoiding the year 2038 problem The ``year 2038 problem'' denotes unpredictable behaviour of programs that will likely occur in the year 2038, for programs that use a 32-bit @samp{time_t} type. See @url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem} for details. The gnulib module @samp{year2038} attempts to avoid this problem, by ensuring that @code{time_t} is a 64-bit type.
