Compiled with /Tamd64-coff the snippet above prints 4. Microsoft, MinGW and Clang 64 bit compiles print 8.
For potential, not tomorrow not even next week, problem please see

I'm aware of this, but since I use an unsigned type for time_t there shouldn't be a big problem until year ~2106 (that I can think of).
Maybe I need to add a 64-bit time_t for compatibility some day, but right now I see more problems...
