YK- 2038 Bug
Abstract
This paper talks about the problem we all will be facing precisely on 19th Jan. 2038.Digital world has been vulnerable by several bugs however, solely a couple of looked as if it would cause a good danger. The bug that got most famed was Y2K. Somehow, we tend to got over it, then, there was Y2K10. It too was resolved and currently we tend to have Y2K38. The Y2K38 bug, if not resolved, will make sure that the predictions that were created for the Y2K bug come true this point. On 19th Jan. 2038 within all UNIX supported Operating system Time and Date would began to work incorrectly. This produces a big problem which is critical for all Software’s and basically a threat to embedded systems. Hence afterwards it basically shows possible solutions which we can take to avoid Unix Millennium 2038 problem. By doing research I have developed a patch. Now I have moved this patch to GitHub. This patch can enable the 32bit S/W to use 64bit time_t on a 32bit computer. This patch is still under development but it is current state has been shown in this paper along with all the codes and brief description of each and every function and files. I think to quickies way to solve this problem is by using patch which Software developers who are having 32bit S/w simply needs to include all header files and implementation files within their software and use the function I along with other open source community has made. Coding has been done in C language.
