Re: portability issue with gmtime method in utime_t

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi James,

I think my vote would be to rename `ostream& gmtime(ostream& out)
const` to something like `write_gmtime`, but the global namespace
approach seems OK too. Maybe someone else has a strong opinion.

sort of related: while we are on the subject of utime_t, `timegm`
isn't portable. This is the hack I'm using in `wip-port`, but I don't
think it should stay this way:
