POSIX specification:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/sys_time.h.html

Gnulib module: sys_time

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• This header file is missing on some platforms: MSVC 14.
• ‘struct timeval’ is not defined on some platforms.
• ‘struct timeval’ is defined with a tv_sec type that is narrower than time_t on some native Windows platforms: mingw64 in 64-bit mode, mingw64 in 32-bit mode when __MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT is defined, MSVC 14 in 64-bit mode, MSVC 14 in 32-bit mode when _USE_32BIT_TIME_T is not defined.

See Avoiding the year 2038 problem, for portability issues with time_t and the time_t component of struct timeval.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• ‘struct timeval’ is defined with a tv_sec type that is wider than time_t: OpenBSD 5.1 in 64-bit mode.
