Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  date_time
  Version:  Boost 1.61.0      |   Severity:  Problem

------------------------------+------------------------
 This code:

 sec_type total_seconds() const
 {
   return static_cast<sec_type>(ticks() / ticks_per_second());
 }

 is unsafe as sec_type is int32_t while ticks() is int64_t.

 See this post for an easy way to have inconsistent result when using
 boost::posix_time::time_duration::total_seconds().

 sec_type should be enlarged to int64_t
