And some invalid + time stamps were being accepted, e.g. September 31. + + * lib/posixtm.h (posixtime): Return bool instead of time_t, so + that we can return (time_t) -1 successfully. + * lib/posixtm.c: Likewise. + [HAVE_STDBOOL_H]: Include <stdbool.h>. + (bool, false, true) [!HAVE_STDBOOL_H]: New type. + (t): Remove static var. + (year, posix_time_parse): Now takes struct tm * arg to modify, instead + of static var. All uses changed. + (year): Do not reject years before 1900; they can occur with + 64-bit time_t. + (posix_time_parse): Do not check for out-of-range components; + that is now the caller's responsibility, since our checks were + only approximations. + (posixtime): Use mktime to check for out-of-range components, + since it knows them exactly. + If mktime returns (time_t) -1, check whether an error actually occurred + by invoking localtime on -1. + (main) [TEST_POSIXTIME]: Check for input data errors, and report + posixtime failures better. + Improve the test data (in comments only). + 2002-07-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> * readutmp.h: If we have both utmpx.h and utmp.h, and there exists |
