Extract functions LDT_from_date_time and LDT_from_date_daypart
to avoid duplicate code. Handle date-times in start-of-DST transitions
and better handle those in end-of-DST transitions. Test the results.
This is responsible for test failures on DST transition days.
See the comments in gnc-timezone.cpp for an explanation of why this is
correct. The rubric was tested on macOS, Arch Linux, Debian Unstable,
Fedora 33, and Ubuntu 18.04 to confirm universal applicability.
Revert using boost::locale to generate std::locales as boost::locale-
generated locales don't implement std::locale::facet and there was
a bug in the boost::locale ICU wrapper code that caused the wrong year
to be output for the last 3 days of December.
GCC's libstdc++ supports only the "C" locale on Windows and throws if
one attempts to create any other kind. For dates we work around this
by using wstrftime() to format according to locale and then convert
the UTF16 string to UTF8. wstrftime() interprets the time zone flags
%z, %Z, and %ZP differently so we process those first before calling
strftime. This will have the unfortunate effect of not localizing
timezone names but it's as close as we can get.
It seems that std::locales created by boost::locale::generator are
not entirely compatible: If used to create a new locale with a facet
for boost::date_time one ends up with the C locale and the facet.
For the time being avoid the problem by using boost::locale to format
dates and times. std::chrono gets calendar functions in C++20 so we
can switch date-time backends once we can adopt it.
The first fix for this bug handled structs tm with ambiguous times.
This one fixes the GncDate constructor when the time is ambiguous
because it's in the DST-change hour, using the same add 3 hours,
construct the LDT, and subtract the 3 hours from the result.
The string constructor handles only simple-offset HH:MM timezones and so
is immune to the bug.
The first attempt to fix this, a17bc85a, doesn't work because the
boost::date_time constructor gets enough information in most cases to
generate a date, just not the one we expect. This change looks for '-' in
the fourth position and if it's there assumes iso-extended format, otherwise
it assumes delimiter-less ISO without the 'T', i.e. %Y%m%d%H%M%S.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
