Open Radar

 
Summary:
Recent ninja-build versions support sub-second timestamps. With CMake I noticed that static libraries are always out-of-date after the first build due to the archive file older than newest object file.

Steps to Reproduce:
touch bar.c
clang -c bar.c
ar -qc bar.a bar.o
./timestamp bar.a # outputs: 1556814480 10926633 bar.a
ranlib bar.a
./timestamp bar.a # outputs: 1556814492 0 bar.a

Expected Results:
The file touched by ranlib does not always have 0 for the fractional seconds field.

Actual Results:
tv_nsec is 0

Version/Build:
Xcode 10.2
macOS 10.14
APFS file system

Thanks,
Gregor
