Thank you for your answer. The problem here is that I need msec so I am using milliseconds through this macro : #define PJ_TIME_VAL_MSEC(t) ((t).sec * 1000 + (t).msec) the output size is 32 bits so I am losing some resolution. *31 536 000* seconds so in msec 31 536 000 000 that is more that the maximum value that can be stored inside a 32 bit variable. 2^32 = 4 294 967 296 Is it possible to store this value inside a 32 bits variable or should I use a pj_time_val variable?
