Summary

srfi-18 time->seconds not returning seconds.

Metadata

Description

I'm running chicken from the experimental branch on OpenBSD 4.8.

I'm using the time-related routines in srfi-18.

The following program:

 $ csi
 #;1> (use srfi-18)
 ; loading library srfi-18 ...
 #;2> (time->seconds (seconds->time 2))
 2000000.0

I would expect the output of the conversion to be symmetrical, where if I give (seconds->time) a 2, converting the time back to seconds using (time->seconds) should return 2. (probably 2.0) Instead this call is returning the microseconds.

I would love to see srfi-18 extended to have a (time->microseconds) and (microseconds->time) procedures, as I love having time resolution at this scale. This could also, of course, be fixed by scaling the real number returned from these routines.

Should be fixed now.
