Synopsis: mktime() fails under certain conditions State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: brian State-Changed-When: Mon Aug 14 13:47:04 PDT 2000 State-Changed-Why: I (and many others) believe that it is more correct to return an error from mktime() when it's asked to construct a time from some time that can't happen. Others belive that mktime() should succeed during leap-periods. POSIX (I'm told) doesn't specify either. IMHO this is therefore a non-issue. FreeBSD's mktime() returns an error and will stay that way. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=15520 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
