Hello,
I'm in the process of learning D, and to do so I'm converting some older code.
I need to print out the current local date and time, which is causing
some difficulties because std.date doesn't seem adequate in this
respect. I understand there is soon to be a replacement, std.datetime,
which I suspect will be much easier.
When are we likely to see a new release which includes std.datetime?
If not relatively soon I presume the easiest thing to do is to download
it myself and recompile the phobos library to include it. In which case
there seems to be already a std.datetime with different functionality,
is this used elsewhere in phobos? i.e. if I replace it with the new
std.datetime is that OK?
You could always use the C functions, if you import core.stdc.time. The
ctime and strftime functions should do the trick.
