Accepting time_t as an argument

I have a function that will be implemented in an extension: ZEND_FUNCTION(msr_set_time); which started life as a real C function: void msr_set_time( const time_t ts ); I'm using Andrei's way, zend_parse_parameters(), to handle arguments. So, long l; zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "l", &l); seems to make sense. But, what if my code ends up on a platform where time_t is an int? Essentially, the question is how to use compiler specific typedefs with zend_parse_parameters() Thank you, Hans
