[devs] allows negative time in time advance #241

Open quesnel opened 7 years ago

quesnel commented 7 years ago

A funny behaviour: if a vle::devs::Dynamics::timeAdvance returns a negative value, VLE kernel will interpret this value as an absolute date instead of a duration. Seems to be useful to (re)synchronize model with integer dates and permits to reduce real representation problems.

However: how to build negative absolute date?

Prohibits negative begin date?

@duboz : we merge this behaviour in VLE2 or not?
