negative timings in GC log

[Kirk Pepperdine]

Hi all,

More of an FYI but I sometimes run across things that look like this.

[PSYoungGen: 2096928K->64K(2097024K)] 3981201K->1884337K(4194176K), -0.2652920 secs] [Times: user=0.04 sys=0.00, real=0.02 secs]

This is coming from a 1.7.0 JVM but I fear I won’t be able to determine the exact build. The JVM was running in a virtualized environment. My guess is something like this could happen if something (NTP?) has diddled with the clock. My question is, would it be better to leave it as is or report it as 0 or unknown?

Regards,
Kirk
