Extract from the <time.h> ISO C Standard: 4.12 DATE and TIME version
1999 :
struct tm
{
int tm_sec; /* Seconds. [0-60] (1 leap second)
*/
int tm_min; /* Minutes. [0-59] */
int tm_hour; /* Hours. [0-23] */
int tm_mday; /* Day. [1-31] */
int tm_mon; /* Month. [0-11] */
int tm_year; /* Year - 1900. */
int tm_wday; /* Day of week. [0-6] */
int tm_yday; /* Days in year.[0-365] */
int tm_isdst; /* DST. [-1/0/1]*/
# ifdef __USE_BSD
long int tm_gmtoff; /* Seconds east of UTC. */
__const char *tm_zone; /* Timezone abbreviation. */
# else
long int __tm_gmtoff; /* Seconds east of UTC. */
__const char *__tm_zone; /* Timezone abbreviation. */
# endif
};
The problem is the format used for the year : year - 1900
What will happen at the end of the year ?
Will the standard format change to year (1999, 2001) or will it stay 99,
00, 01,... ?
Then, do we have to recompile all our programs who use time.h under
Linux to include a new format for the year ?
And will the actual programs under Linux continue to work in 00, 01... ?
Thank,
Vincent
