#188249 - Cross-checking important Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Of course, it's always important to validate all assumptions.
Your post seems to indicate that this is a problem with the posted code you found. I would say it's a problem with your asssumption of how to use the code. Note that the standard CRTL functions gmtime(), localtime(), mktime() etc uses a data structure named "struct tm", where month is zero-based while day of month is one-based. So there are lots of source code on the net that requires january to be zero just because the posted code is intended for use inside the CRTL. Another thing - the code you uses also subtracts 1970 from the year. Unix epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00. So the time_t data type in C is zero at midnight at crossover from 1969 to 1970. But another issue. Your epoch value 1346867100 should have been Wed, 05 Sep 2012 17:45:00 GMT. So you seem to be 4 days off. However, I assume that is an error in your post because your original post did claim that you called the function with parameters specifying september 5th. |
