Introduction

The purpose of a calendar is to give a name to each day.¹ There are many different ways this can be accomplished. This paper proposes only the Gregorian calendar. However the design of this proposal is such that clients can code other calendars and have them interoperate with <chrono>, the civil calendar, and with time zones, all with a minimal coupling. For example:

#include "coptic.h"  // not proposed, just an example
#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>

int
main()
{
    using namespace std::chrono_literals;
    auto date = 2016y/may/29;
    cout << date << " is " << coptic::year_month_day{date} << " in the Coptic calendar\n";
    // 2016-05-29 is 1732-09-21 in the Coptic calendar
}

The above example creates a date in the Gregorian calendar (proposed) with the literal 2016y/may/29. The meaning of this literal is without question. It is conventional and clearly readable. This proposal has no knowledge whatsoever of the Coptic calendar. However it is relatively easy to create a Coptic calendar (which knows nothing about the Gregorian calendar), which will convert to and from the Gregorian calendar. This is done by establishing a clear and simple communication channel between calendar systems and the <chrono> library (specifically a system_clock::time_point with a precision of days).

The paper proposes:

1. Minimal extensions to <chrono> to support calendar and time zone libraries.
2. A proleptic Gregorian calendar, hereafter referred to as the civil calendar.
3. A time zone library based on the IANA Time Zone Database.
4. strftime-like formatting and parsing facilities with fully operational support for fractional seconds, time zone abbreviations, and UTC offsets.
5. Several <chrono> clocks for computing with leap seconds which is also supported by the IANA Time Zone Database.

Everything proposed herein has been fully implemented here:

https://github.com/HowardHinnant/date

The implementation includes full documentation, and an active community of users with positive field experience. The implementation has been ported to Windows, Linux, Android, macOS and iOS.

The API stresses:

• Seamless integration with the existing <chrono> library.
• Type safety.
• Detection of errors at compile time.
• Performance.
• Ease of use.
• Readable code.
• No artificial restrictions on precision. Note: current financial software is currently in the middle of a transition from seconds precision to milliseconds precision. This library handles that transition as seamlessly as <chrono> does.

Listing "Performance" in the API design deserves a little explanation as one usually thinks of that as an implementation issue. Think of it this way:

• If vector<T>::push_front(const T&) existed, that would encourage inefficient code, even though it would be trivial to implement.
• If list<T>::operator[](size_type index) existed, that would encourage inefficient code, even though it would be trivial to implement (by incrementing from begin() or decrementing from end()).

This API makes it convenient to write efficient code, and inconvenient to write inefficient code. It turns out that conversion between a field type such as {year, month, day} and a serial type such as {count-of-days} is one of the more expensive operations when dealing with calendrical computations. Both data structures are very useful (just as both vector and list are very useful). So this library puts you in control of when and how often that conversion takes place, and makes it easy to avoid such conversions when not necessary.

Description

One can create a year like this:

auto y = year{2016};

Just like <chrono>, type safety is taken very seriously. The type year is distinct from type int, just as 3 can never mean "3 seconds", unless it is explicitly typed to do so: seconds{3}.

And just like seconds, there is a year literal suffix which can help make your code more readable:

auto y = 2016y;

year is a partial-calendar-type. It can be combined with other partial-calendar-types to create a full-calendar-type such as year_month_day. Full-calendar-types can be converted to and from the family of system_clock::time_points. Full-calendar-types such as year_month_day are time points with a precision of a day, but they are also field types. They are composed of 3 fields under the hood: year, month and day. Thus when you construct a year_month_day from a year, month and day, absolutely no computation takes place. The only thing that happens is a year, month and day are stored inside the year_month_day.

year_month_day ymd1{2016y, month{5}, day{29}};

This is a very simple operation and can even be made constexpr when all of the inputs are compile-time constants. And conventional syntax is available which means the exact same thing, with the same run-time or compile-time performance. It can make date literals much more readable without sacrificing type safety:

constexpr year_month_day ymd1{2016y, month{5}, day{29}};
constexpr auto ymd2 = 2016y/may/29d;
static_assert(ymd1         == ymd2);
static_assert(ymd1.year()  == 2016y);
static_assert(ymd1.month() == may);
static_assert(ymd1.day()   == 29d);

year_month_day is a very simple, very understandable calendrical data structure:

class year_month_day
{
    chrono::year  y_;  // exposition only
    chrono::month m_;  // exposition only
    chrono::day   d_;  // exposition only

public:
    constexpr year_month_day(const chrono::year& y, const chrono::month& m, const chrono::day& d) noexcept;
    // ...

By now you should be yawning and muttering "so what?"

Now we introduce a little <chrono> infrastructure that serves as the communication channel with simplistic calendrical data structures such as year_month_day.

using days = duration<int32_t, ratio_multiply<ratio<24>, hours::period>>;
template <class Duration> using sys_time = time_point<system_clock, Duration>;
using sys_days = sys_time<days>;

sys_days is a std::chrono::time_point. This time_point is based on system_clock and has a very coarse precision: 24 hours. Just as system_clock::time_point is nothing more than a count of microseconds (or nanoseconds, or whatever), sys_days is simply a count of days since the system_clock epoch. And sys_days is fully interoperable with system_clock::time_point in all of the ways normal to the <chrono> library:

• sys_days implicitly converts to system_clock::time_point with no truncation error.
• system_clock::time_point does not implicitly convert to sys_days because it would involve truncation error.
• Explicit conversion can be achieved from system_clock::time_point by using the existing <chrono> facilities time_point_cast or floor.

constexpr system_clock::time_point tp = sys_days{2016y/may/29d}; // Convert date to time_point
static_assert(tp.time_since_epoch() == 1'464'480'000'000'000us);
constexpr auto ymd = year_month_day{floor<days>(tp)};            // Convert time_point to date
static_assert(ymd == 2016y/may/29d);

The calendrical type year_month_day provides conversions to and from sys_days. This conversion is easy to do for std::lib implementors using algorithms such as these. If the committee standardizes existing practice and specifies that system_clock measures Unix Time, then it will be equally easy for anyone to write their own calendar system which converts to and from sys_days (e.g. the coptic example in the introduction).

This proposal actually contains a second calendar. It is so closely related to the civil calendar that we normally don't think of it as another calendar. We often refer to dates like "the 5th Sunday of May in 2016" as opposed to "the 29th of May in 2016." This proposal makes it so easy to build fully functional calendars that interoperate with system_clock::time_point, that it is nearly trivial to include such functionality:

constexpr system_clock::time_point tp = sys_days{sun[5]/may/2016}; // Convert date to time_point
static_assert(tp.time_since_epoch() == 1'464'480'000'000'000us);
constexpr auto ymd = year_month_weekday{floor<days>(tp)};          // Convert time_point to date
static_assert(ymd == sun[5]/may/2016);

The literal sun[5]/may/2016 means "the 5th Sunday of May in 2016." The conventional syntax is remarkably readable. Constructor syntax is also available to do the same thing. The type constructed is year_month_weekday which does nothing but store a year, month, weekday, and the number 5. This "auxiliary calendar" converts to and from sys_days just like year_month_day as demonstrated above. As such, year_month_weekday will interoperate with year_month_day (by bouncing off of sys_days) just as it will with any other calendar that interoperates with sys_days:

static_assert(2016y/may/29d == year_month_day{sun[5]/may/2016});

Since year_month_day is so easy to convert to (or from) a time_point it makes sense to convert to a time_point when you need to talk about a date and time-of-day:

constexpr auto tp = sys_days{2016y/may/29d} + 7h + 30min; // 2016-05-29 07:30 UTC

The time zone is implicitly UTC because system_clock tracks Unix Time which is (a very close approximation to) UTC. If you need another time zone, no worries, we'll get there. And remember, tp above is a system_clock::time_point, except with minutes precision. You can compare it with system_clock::now() to find out if the date is in the past or the future. Also note that the syntax above (like <chrono>) is precision neutral. That's because the syntax above is <chrono>, except for the part converting a calendar type into the <chrono> system. If you suddenly need to convert your minutes-precision time point into seconds or milliseconds (or whatever) precision, the change is seamlessly handled by the existing <chrono> system:

constexpr auto tp = sys_days{2016y/may/29d} + 7h + 30min + 6s + 153ms; // 2016-05-29 07:30:06.153 UTC

Simple streaming is provided:

cout << tp << '\n';  // 2016-05-29 07:30:06.153

But I need the time in Tokyo!

auto tp = sys_days{2016y/may/29d} + 7h + 30min + 6s + 153ms; // 2016-05-29 07:30:06.153 UTC
zoned_time zt = {"Asia/Tokyo", tp};
cout << zt << '\n';                                          // 2016-05-29 16:30:06.153 JST

zoned_time is templated on the duration type of tp, which is automatically deduced from the initialization expression (milliseconds in this example). This effectively pairs a time zone with a time point. In this example we pair the time zone "Asia/Tokyo" with a sys_time (which is implicitly UTC). When printed out, you see the local time, and by default the current time zone abbreviation. Also by default, you see the full precision of the zoned_time.

Sometimes, instead of specifying the time in UTC as above, it is convenient to specify the time in terms of the local time of the time zone. It is very easy to change the above example to mean 7:30 JST instead of 7:30 UTC:

auto tp = local_days{2016y/may/29d} + 7h + 30min + 6s + 153ms; // 2016-05-29 07:30:06.153
auto zt = zoned_time{"Asia/Tokyo", tp};
cout << zt << '\n';                                            // 2016-05-29 07:30:06.153 JST

The only change to the code is the use of local_days in place of sys_days. local_days is also a std::chrono::time_point but its "clock type" local_t has no now() function. This time_point is called local_time. A local_time can refer to any time zone. In the above example when we pair "Asia/Tokyo" with the local_time, the result becomes a zoned_time with the local time specified by the local_time.

To interoperate with time zones, calendrical types must convert to and from local_days as well as sys_days. The math is identical for both conversions, so it is very easy for the calendar author to provide. But as seen in this example, the meaning can be quite different.

The client of the calendar library can easily use the calendar types with the time zone library, specifying times either in the local time, or in UTC, simply by switching between local_days and sys_days. Here is an example that sets up a meeting at 9am on the third Tuesday of June, 2016 in New York:

auto zt = zoned_time{"America/New_York", local_days{tue[3]/jun/2016} + 9h};
cout << zt << '\n';  // 2016-06-21 09:00:00 EDT

Need to set up a video conference with your partners in Helsinki?

cout << zoned_time{"Europe/Helsinki", zt} << '\n';

This converts one zoned_time into another zoned_time where the only difference is changing from "America/New_York" to "Europe/Helsinki". The conversion preserves the UTC equivalent in both zoned_times, and therefore outputs:

2016-06-21 16:00:00 EEST

And if this is not the formatting you prefer, that is easily fixed too:

cout << format("%F %H:%M %z", zoned_time{"Europe/Helsinki", zt}) << '\n';
// 2016-06-21 16:00 +0300

Or perhaps properly localized:

cout << format(locale{"fi_FI"}, "%c", zoned_time{"Europe/Helsinki", zt}) << '\n';
// Ti 21 Kes 16:00:00 2016

Wait, slow down, this is too much information! Let's start at the beginning. How do I get the current time?

cout << system_clock::now() << " UTC\n";
// 2016-05-30 17:57:30.694574 UTC

My current local time?

cout << zoned_time{current_zone(), system_clock::now()} << '\n';
// 2016-05-30 13:57:30.694574 EDT

Current time in Budapest?

cout << zoned_time{"Europe/Budapest", system_clock::now()} << '\n';
// 2016-05-30 19:57:30.694574 CEST

Add new section [time.is_clock] after 23.17.4.3 Specializations of common_type [time.traits.specializations]:

23.17.4.4 is_clock [time.traits.is_clock]

template <class T> struct is_clock;

is_clock is a UnaryTypeTrait ([meta.rqmts]) with a base characteristic of true_type if T meets the Clock requirements ([time.clock.req]), otherwise false_type. For the purposes of the specification of this trait, the extent to which an implementation determines that a type cannot meet the clock requirements is unspecified, except that as a minimum a type T shall not qualify as a clock unless it satisfies all of the following conditions:

• the qualified-ids T::rep, T::period, T::duration, and T::time_point are valid and each denotes a type ([temp.deduct]),
• the expression T::is_steady is well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand,
• the expression T::now() is well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand.

The behavior of a program that adds specializations for is_clock is undefined.

Add new section [time.duration.io] after 23.17.5.9 duration algorithms [time.duration.alg]:

23.17.5.10 duration stream insertion [time.duration.io]

template <class charT, class traits, class Rep, class Period>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const duration<Rep, Period>& d);

Effects: Forms a basic_string<charT, traits> from d.count() appended with get_units<charT, traits>(typename Period::type{}) (described below) and inserts that basic_string into os. [Note: this specification assures that the result of this streaming operation will obey the width and alignment properties of the stream. — end note]

get_units<charT, traits>(typename Period::type{}) is an exposition-only function which returns a null-terminated string of charT which depends on Period::type as follows (let period be the type Period::type):

• If period is type atto, as, else
• if period is type femto, fs, else
• if period is type pico, ps, else
• if period is type nano, ns, else
• if period is type micro, µs (U+00B5), else
• if period is type milli, ms, else
• if period is type centi, cs, else
• if period is type deci, ds, else
• if period is type ratio<1>, s, else
• if period is type deca, das, else
• if period is type hecto, hs, else
• if period is type kilo, ks, else
• if period is type mega, Ms, else
• if period is type giga, Gs, else
• if period is type tera, Ts, else
• if period is type peta, Ps, else
• if period is type exa, Es, else
• if period is type ratio<60>, min, else
• if period is type ratio<3600>, h, else
• if period::den == 1, [num]s, else
• [num/den]s.

In the list above the use of num and den refer to the static data members of period which are converted to arrays of charT using a decimal conversion with no leading zeroes.

For streams with charT which has a representation of 8 bits µs should be encoded as UTF-8. Otherwise UTF-16 or UTF-32 is encouraged. The implementation may substitute other encodings, including us.

Returns: os.

template <class charT, class traits, class Rep, class Period>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
to_stream(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const charT* fmt,
          const duration<Rep, Period>& d);

Effects: Streams d into os using the format specified by the null-terminated array fmt. fmt encoding follows the rules specified by [time.format].

Returns: os.

template <class charT, class traits, class Rep, class Period, class Alloc = allocator<charT>>
basic_istream<charT, traits>&
from_stream(basic_istream<charT, traits>& is, const charT* fmt,

            basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>* abbrev = nullptr,
            minutes* offset = nullptr);

Effects: Attempts to parse the input stream is into the duration d using the format flags as specified in [time.parse].

If the parse parses everything specified by the parsing format flags without error, and yet none of the flags impacts a duration, d will be assigned a zero value.

If %Z is used and successfully parsed, that value will be assigned to *abbrev if abbrev is non-null.

If %z (or a modified variant) is used and successfully parsed, that value will be assigned to *offset if offset is non-null.

Returns: is.

1 Objects of class system_clock represent wall clock time from the system-wide realtime clock. sys_time<Duration> measures time since (and before) 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC excluding leap seconds. This measure is commonly referred to as Unix Time. This measure facilitates an efficient mapping between sys_time and calendar types ([time.calendar])

[Example:

sys_seconds{sys_days{1970y/jan/1}}.time_since_epoch() is 0s
sys_seconds{sys_days{2000y/jan/1}}.time_since_epoch() is 946'684'800s which is 10'957 * 86'400s

Deprecate the to_time_t and from_time_t static member functions of system_clock in 23.17.7.1 [time.clock.system] by moving their declaration and specification to Annex D.

Rationale: This proposal removes all need for using the C <time.h> API except to translate system_clock::time_point to legacy code. That translation can now be portably done by converting a system_clock::time_point to a year_month_day and time_of_day<seconds> and translating that information into a tm. The C API is error prone with its lack of type safe distinctions between local time and UTC, and suffers from a lack of handling precisions finer than seconds. Furthermore the newer timespec API makes no distinction between time points and time durations, further eroding type safety.

Remarks: This operator shall not participate in overload resolution if treat_as_floating_point<typename Duration::rep>::value is true, or if Duration{1} >= days{1}.

Effects:

auto const dp = floor<days>(tp);
os << year_month_day{dp} << ' ' << time_of_day{tp-dp};

Returns: os.

[Example:

cout << sys_seconds{0s} << '\n';             // 1970-01-01 00:00:00
cout << sys_seconds{946'684'800s} << '\n';   // 2000-01-01 00:00:00

— end example:]

template <class charT, class traits>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&

Returns: os.

template <class charT, class traits, class Duration>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
to_stream(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const charT* fmt, const sys_time<Duration>& tp);

Effects: Streams tp into os using the format specified by the null-terminated array fmt. fmt encoding follows the rules specified by [time.format]. If %Z is used, it will be replaced with "UTC". If %z is used (or a modified form of %z), an offset of 0min will be formatted.

Returns: os.

template <class charT, class traits, class Duration, class Alloc = allocator<charT>>
basic_istream<charT, traits>&
from_stream(basic_istream<charT, traits>& is, const charT* fmt,
            sys_time<Duration>& tp, basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>* abbrev = nullptr,
            minutes* offset = nullptr);

Effects: Attempts to parse the input stream is into the sys_time tp using the format flags as specified in [time.parse].

If the parse fails to decode a valid date, ios_base::failbit will be set.

If %Z is used and successfully parsed, that value will be assigned to *abbrev if abbrev is non-null.

If %z (or a modified variant) is used and successfully parsed, that value will be assigned to *offset if offset is non-null. Additionally, the parsed offset will be subtracted from the successfully parsed time stamp prior to assigning that difference to tp.

Returns: is.

{
public:
    using rep                       = a signed arithmetic type;
    using period                    = ratio<unspecified, unspecified>;

    template <class Duration>
    static
    utc_time<common_type_t<Duration, seconds>>
    from_sys(const sys_time<Duration>& t);
};

In contrast to sys_time which does not take leap seconds into account, utc_clock and its associated time_point, utc_time, counts time, including leap seconds, since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

[Example:

clock_cast<utc_clock>(sys_seconds{sys_days{1970y/jan/1}}).time_since_epoch() is 0s
clock_cast<utc_clock>(sys_seconds{sys_days{2000y/jan/1}}).time_since_epoch() is 946'684'822s which is 10'957 * 86'400s + 22s

—end example]

utc_clock is not a TrivialClock unless the implementation can guarantee that utc_clock::now() does not propagate an exception. [Note: noexcept(from_sys(system_clock::now())) is false. — end note]

static utc_clock::time_point utc_clock::now();

Returns: from_sys(system_clock::now()), or a more accurate value of utc_time.

template <typename Duration>
static
sys_time<common_type_t<Duration, seconds>>
utc_clock::to_sys(const utc_time<Duration>& u);

Returns: A sys_time t, such that from_sys(t) == u if such a mapping exists. Otherwise u represents a time_point during a leap second insertion and the last representable value of sys_time prior to the insertion of the leap second is returned.

template <typename Duration>
static
utc_time<common_type_t<Duration, seconds>>
utc_clock::from_sys(const sys_time<Duration>& t);

Returns: A utc_time u, such that u.time_since_epoch() - t.time_since_epoch() is equal to the number of leap seconds that were inserted between t and 1970-01-01. If t is exactly the date of leap second insertion, then the conversion counts that leap second as inserted.

[Example:

auto t = sys_days{jul/1/2015} - 2ns;
auto u = utc_clock::from_sys(t);
assert(u.time_since_epoch() - t.time_since_epoch() == 25s);
t += 1ns;
u = utc_clock::from_sys(t);
assert(u.time_since_epoch() - t.time_since_epoch() == 25s);
t += 1ns;
u = utc_clock::from_sys(t);
assert(u.time_since_epoch() - t.time_since_epoch() == 26s);
t += 1ns;
u = utc_clock::from_sys(t);
assert(u.time_since_epoch() - t.time_since_epoch() == 26s);

— end example]

template <class charT, class traits, class Duration>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const utc_time<Duration>& t);

Effects: Calls to_stream(os, fmt, t), where fmt is a null-terminated array of char_t containing "%F %T" widened for charT.

Returns: os.

template <class charT, class traits, class Duration>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
to_stream(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const charT* fmt, const utc_time<Duration>& tp);

Effects: Streams tp into os using the format specified by the null-terminated array fmt. fmt encoding follows the rules specified by [time.format]. If %Z is used, it will be replaced with "UTC". If %z is used (or a modified form of %z), an offset of 0min will be formatted. If tp represents a time during a leap second insertion, and if a seconds field is formatted, the integral portion of that format shall be "60".

Returns: os.

[Example:

auto t = sys_days{jul/1/2015} - 500ms;
auto u = clock_cast<utc_clock>(t);
for (auto i = 0; i < 8; ++i, u += 250ms)

Effects: Attempts to parse the input stream is into the utc_time tp using the format flags as specified in [time.parse].

If the parse fails to decode a valid date, ios_base::failbit will be set.

Add new section [time.clock.tai] after 23.17.7.2 Class utc_clock [time.clock.utc]:

23.17.7.3 Class tai_clock [time.clock.tai]

class tai_clock
{
public:
    using rep                       = a signed arithmetic type;
    using period                    = ratio<unspecified, unspecified>;

};

The clock tai_clock measures seconds since 1958-01-01 00:00:00 and is offset 10s ahead of UTC at this date. That is, 1958-01-01 00:00:00 TAI is equivalent to 1957-12-31 23:59:50 UTC. Leap seconds are not inserted into TAI. Therefore every time a leap second is inserted into UTC, UTC falls another second behind TAI. For example by 2000-01-01 there had been 22 leap seconds inserted so 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC is equivalent to 2000-01-01 00:00:32 TAI (22s plus the initial 10s offset).

tai_clock is not a TrivialClock unless the implementation can guarantee that tai_clock::now() does not propagate an exception. [Note: noexcept(from_utc(utc_clock::now())) is false. — end note]

Returns: os.

template <class charT, class traits, class Duration>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
to_stream(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const charT* fmt, const tai_time<Duration>& tp);

Effects: Streams tp into os using the format specified by the null-terminated array fmt. fmt encoding follows the rules specified by [time.format]. If %Z is used, it will be replaced with "TAI". If %z is used (or a modified form of %z), an offset of 0min will be formatted. The date and time formatted shall be equivalent to that formatted by a sys_time initialized with:

sys_time<Duration>{tp.time_since_epoch()} - (sys_days{1970y/jan/1} - sys_days{1958y/jan/1})

auto tt = clock_cast<tai_clock>(st);
cout << format("%F %T %Z == ", st) << format("%F %T %Z\n", tt);

The clock gps_clock measures seconds since The first Sunday of January, 1980 00:00:00 UTC. Leap seconds are not inserted into GPS. Therefore every time a leap second is inserted into UTC, UTC falls another second behind GPS. Aside from the offset from 1958y/jan/1 to 1980y/jan/sun[1] GPS is behind TAI by 19s due to the 10s offset between 1958 and 1970 and the additional 9 leap seconds inserted between 1970 and 1980.

gps_clock is not a TrivialClock unless the implementation can guarantee that gps_clock::now() does not propagate an exception. [Note: noexcept(from_utc(utc_clock::now())) is false. — end note]

gps_time<common_type_t<Duration, seconds>>
gps_clock::from_utc(const utc_time<Duration>& t) noexcept;

Returns: gps_time<common_type_t<Duration, seconds>>{t.time_since_epoch()} - 315964809s

Note: 315964809s == sys_days{1980y/jan/sun[1]} - sys_days{1970y/jan/1} + 9s

template <class charT, class traits, class Duration>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const gps_time<Duration>& t);

Effects: Calls to_stream(os, fmt, t), where fmt is a null-terminated array of char_t containing "%F %T" widened for charT.

Returns: os.

template <class charT, class traits, class Duration>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
to_stream(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const charT* fmt, const gps_time<Duration>& tp);

Effects: Streams tp into os using the format specified by the null-terminated array fmt. fmt encoding follows the rules specified by [time.format]. If %Z is used, it will be replaced with "GPS". If %z is used (or a modified form of %z), an offset of 0min will be formatted. The date and time formatted shall be equivalent to that formatted by a sys_time initialized with:

sys_time<Duration>{tp.time_since_epoch()} + (sys_days{1980y/jan/sun[1]} - sys_days{1970y/jan/1})

Returns: os.

[Example:

auto st = sys_days{2000_y/jan/1};
auto gt = clock_cast<gps_clock>(st);
cout << format("%F %T %Z == ", st) << format("%F %T %Z\n", gt);

Output:

2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC == 2000-01-01 00:00:13 GPS

            gps_time<Duration>& tp, basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>* abbrev = nullptr,
            minutes* offset = nullptr);

Effects: Attempts to parse the input stream is into the gps_time tp using the format flags as specified in [time.parse].

If the parse fails to decode a valid date, ios_base::failbit will be set.

If %Z is used and successfully parsed, that value will be assigned to *abbrev if abbrev is non-null.

If %z (or a modified variant) is used and successfully parsed, that value will be assigned to *offset if offset is non-null. Additionally, the parsed offset will be subtracted from the successfully parsed time stamp prior to assigning that difference to tp.

Returns: is.

Add new section [time.clock.local_time] after 23.17.7.3 Class high_resolution_clock [time.clock.hres]:

23.17.7.8 local_time [time.clock.local_time]

The family of time points denoted by local_time<Duration> are based on the pseudo clock local_t. local_t has no member now() and thus does not meet the clock requirements. Nevertheless local_time<Duration> serves the vital role of representing local time with respect to a not-yet-specified time zone. Aside from being able to get the current time, the complete time_point algebra is available for local_time<Duration> (just as for sys_time<Duration>).

template <class charT, class traits, class Duration>

to_stream(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const charT* fmt, const local_time<Duration>& tp,
          const string* abbrev = nullptr, const seconds* offset_sec = nullptr);

Effects: Streams tp into os using the format specified by the null-terminated array fmt. fmt encoding follows the rules specified by [time.format]. If %Z is used, it will be replaced with *abbrev if abbrev is not equal to nullptr. If abbrev is equal to nullptr (and %Z is used), ios_base::failbit will be set. If %z is used (or a modified form of %z), it will be formatted with the value of *offset_sec if offset_sec is not equal to nullptr. If %z (or a modified form of %z) is used, and offset_sec is equal to nullptr, then ios_base::failbit is set.

Returns: os.

Effects: Attempts to parse the input stream is into the local_time tp using the format flags as specified in [time.parse].

If the parse fails to decode a valid date, ios_base::failbit will be set.

If %Z is used and successfully parsed, that value will be assigned to *abbrev if abbrev is non-null.

If %z (or a modified variant) is used and successfully parsed, that value will be assigned to *offset if offset is non-null.

Returns: is.

23.17.7.9 clock_cast [time.clock.clock_cast]

template <class DestClock, class SourceClock>
struct clock_time_conversion
{};

clock_time_conversion serves as trait which can be used to specify how to convert time_point<SourceClock, Duration> to time_point<DestClock, Duration> via a specialization: clock_time_conversion<DestClock, SourceClock>. A specialization of clock_time_conversion<DestClock, SourceClock> shall provide a const-qualified operator() that takes a parameter of type time_point<SourceClock, Duration> and returns a time_point<DestClock, some duration> representing an equivalent point in time. A program may specialize clock_time_conversion if at least one of the template parameters is user-defined clock type.

Several specializations are provided by the implementation:

Add a new section 23.17.8 Formatting [time.format]:

If fmt (P0645) moves forward within the LEWG, this section can easily be reworked to plug into that facility without loss of functionality. This will avoid two unrelated format facilities in the standard.

23.17.8 Formatting [time.format]

Each format overload specified in this section calls to_stream unqualified, so as to enable argument dependent lookup ([basic.lookup.argdep]).

template <class charT, class Streamable>
basic_string<charT>
format(const charT* fmt, const Streamable& s);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless to_stream(declval<basic_ostream<charT>&>(), fmt, s) is a valid expression.

Effects: Constructs a local variable of type basic_ostringstream<charT> (for exposition purposes, named os). Executes os.exceptions(ios::failbit | ios::badbit). Then calls to_stream(os, fmt, s).

Returns: os.str().

template <class charT, class Streamable>
basic_string<charT>
format(const locale& loc, const charT* fmt, const Streamable& s);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless to_stream(declval<basic_ostream<charT>&>(), fmt, s) is a valid expression.

Effects: Constructs a local variable of type basic_ostringstream<charT> (for exposition purposes, named os). Executes os.exceptions(ios::failbit | ios::badbit). Then calls os.imbue(loc). Then calls to_stream(os, fmt, s).

Returns: os.str().

template <class charT, class traits, class Alloc, class Streamable>
basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>
format(const basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>& fmt, const Streamable& s);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless to_stream(declval<basic_ostringstream<charT, traits, Alloc>&>(), fmt.c_str(), s) is a valid expression.

Effects: Constructs a local variable of type basic_ostringstream<charT, traits, Alloc> (for exposition purposes, named os). Executes os.exceptions(ios::failbit | ios::badbit). Then calls to_stream(os, fmt.c_str(), s).

Returns: os.str().

template <class charT, class traits, class Alloc, class Streamable>
basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>
format(const locale& loc, const basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>& fmt, const Streamable& s);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless to_stream(declval<basic_ostringstream<charT, traits, Alloc>&>(), fmt.c_str(), s) is a valid expression.

Effects: Constructs a local variable of type basic_ostringstream<charT, traits, Alloc> (for exposition purposes, named os). Then calls os.imbue(loc). Executes os.exceptions(ios::failbit | ios::badbit). Then calls to_stream(os, fmt.c_str(), s).

Returns: os.str().

The format functions call a to_stream function with a basic_ostream, a formatting string specifier, and a Streamable argument. Each to_stream overload is customized for each Streamable type. However all to_stream overloads treat the formatting string specifier according to the following specification:

The fmt string consists of zero or more conversion specifiers and ordinary multibyte characters. A conversion specifier consists of a % character, possibly followed by an E or O modifier character (described below), followed by a character that determines the behavior of the conversion specifier. All ordinary multibyte characters (excluding the terminating null character) are streamed unchanged into the basic_ostream.

Each conversion specifier is replaced by appropriate characters as described in the following list. Some of the conversion specifiers depend on the locale which is imbued to the basic_ostream. If the Streamable object does not contain the information the conversion specifier refers to, the value streamed to the basic_ostream is unspecified.

Unless explicitly specified, Streamable types will not contain time zone abbreviation and time zone offset information. If available, the conversion specifiers %Z and %z will format this information (respectively). If the information is not available, and %Z or %z are contained in fmt, ios_base::failbit will be set on os.

%a	The locale's abbreviated weekday name. If the value does not contain a valid weekday, ios::failbit is set.
%A	The locale's full weekday name. If the value does not contain a valid weekday, ios::failbit is set.
%b	The locale's abbreviated month name. If the value does not contain a valid month, ios::failbit is set.
%B	The locale's full month name. If the value does not contain a valid month, ios::failbit is set.
%c	The locale's date and time representation. The modified command %Ec produces the locale's alternate date and time representation.
%C	The year divided by 100 using floored division. If the result is a single decimal digit, it is prefixed with 0. The modified command %EC produces the locale's alternative representation of the century.
%d	The day of month as a decimal number. If the result is a single decimal digit, it is prefixed with 0. The modified command %Od produces the locale's alternative representation.
%D	Equivalent to %m/%d/%y.
%e	The day of month as a decimal number. If the result is a single decimal digit, it is prefixed with a space. The modified command %Oe produces the locale's alternative representation.
%F	Equivalent to %Y-%m-%d.
%g	The last two decimal digits of the ISO week-based year. If the result is a single digit it is prefixed by 0.
%G	The ISO week-based year as a decimal number. If the result is less than four digits it is left-padded with 0 to four digits.
%h	Equivalent to %b.
%H	The hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number. If the result is a single digit, it is prefixed with 0. The modified command %OH produces the locale's alternative representation.
%I	The hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number. If the result is a single digit, it is prefixed with 0. The modified command %OI produces the locale's alternative representation.
%j	The day of the year as a decimal number. Jan 1 is 001. If the result is less than three digits, it is left-padded with 0 to three digits.
%m	The month as a decimal number. Jan is 01. If the result is a single digit, it is prefixed with 0. The modified command %Om produces the locale's alternative representation.
%M	The minute as a decimal number. If the result is a single digit, it is prefixed with 0. The modified command %OM produces the locale's alternative representation.
%n	A newline character.
%p	The locale's equivalent of the AM/PM designations associated with a 12-hour clock.
%r	The locale's 12-hour clock time.
%R	Equivalent to %H:%M.
%S	Seconds as a decimal number. If the number of seconds is less than 10, the result is prefixed with 0. If the precision of the input can not be exactly represented with seconds, then the format is a decimal floating point number with a fixed format and a precision matching that of the precision of the input (or to a microseconds precision if the conversion to floating point decimal seconds can not be made within 18 fractional digits). The character for the decimal point is localized according to the locale. The modified command %OS produces the locale's alternative representation.
%t	A horizontal-tab character.
%T	Equivalent to %H:%M:%S.
%u	The ISO weekday as a decimal number (1-7), where Monday is 1. The modified command %Ou produces the locale's alternative representation.
%U	The week number of the year as a decimal number. The first Sunday of the year is the first day of week 01. Days of the same year prior to that are in week 00. If the result is a single digit, it is prefixed with 0. The modified command %OU produces the locale's alternative representation.
%V	The ISO week-based week number as a decimal number. If the result is a single digit, it is prefixed with 0. The modified command %OV produces the locale's alternative representation.
%w	The weekday as a decimal number (0-6), where Sunday is 0. The modified command %Ow produces the locale's alternative representation.
%W	The week number of the year as a decimal number. The first Monday of the year is the first day of week 01. Days of the same year prior to that are in week 00. If the result is a single digit, it is prefixed with 0. The modified command %OW produces the locale's alternative representation.
%x	The locale's date representation. The modified command %Ex produces the locale's alternate date representation.
%X	The locale's time representation. The modified command %Ex produces the locale's alternate time representation.
%y	The last two decimal digits of the year. If the result is a single digit it is prefixed by 0.
%Y	The year as a decimal number. If the result is less than four digits it is left-padded with 0 to four digits.
%z	The offset from UTC in the ISO 8601 format. For example -0430 refers to 4 hours 30 minutes behind UTC. If the offset is zero, +0000 is used. The modified commands %Ez and %Oz insert a : between the hours and minutes: -04:30. If the offset information is not available, ios_base::failbit will be set.
%Z	The time zone abbreviation. If the time zone abbreviation is not available, ios_base::failbit will be set.
%%	A % character.

Add a new section 23.17.9 Parsing [time.parse]:

23.17.9 Parsing [time.parse]

Each parse overload specified in this section calls from_stream unqualified, so as to enable argument dependent lookup ([basic.lookup.argdep]).

template <class charT, class traits, class Alloc, class Parsable>
unspecified
parse(const basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>& fmt, Parsable& tp);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless from_stream(declval<basic_istream<charT, traits>&>(), fmt.c_str(), tp) is a valid expression.

Returns: A manipulator that when extracted from a basic_istream<charT, traits> is calls from_stream(is, fmt.c_str(), tp).

template <class charT, class traits, class Alloc, class Parsable>
unspecified
parse(const basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>& fmt, Parsable& tp,
      basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>& abbrev);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless from_stream(declval<basic_istream<charT, traits>&>(), fmt.c_str(), tp, &abbrev) is a valid expression.

Returns: A manipulator that when extracted from a basic_istream<charT, traits> is calls from_stream(is, fmt.c_str(), tp, &abbrev).

template <class charT, class traits, class Alloc, class Parsable>
unspecified
parse(const basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>& fmt, Parsable& tp,
      minutes& offset);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless from_stream(declval<basic_istream<charT, traits>&>(), fmt.c_str(), tp, nullptr, &offset) is a valid expression.

Returns: A manipulator that when extracted from a basic_istream<charT, traits> is calls from_stream(is, fmt.c_str(), tp, nullptr, &offset).

template <class charT, class traits, class Alloc, class Parsable>
unspecified
parse(const basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>& fmt, Parsable& tp,
      basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>& abbrev, minutes& offset);

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless from_stream(declval<basic_istream<charT, traits>&>(), fmt.c_str(), tp, &abbrev, &offset) is a valid expression.

Returns: A manipulator that when extracted from a basic_istream<charT, traits> is calls from_stream(is, fmt.c_str(), tp, &abbrev, &offset).

All from_stream overloads behave as an unformatted input function. Each overload takes a format string containing ordinary characters and flags which have special meaning. Each flag begins with a %. Some flags can be modified by E or O. During parsing each flag interprets characters as parts of date and time type according to the table below. Some flags can be modified by a width parameter which governs how many characters are parsed from the stream in interpreting the flag. All characters in the format string which are not represented in the table below, except for white space, are parsed unchanged from the stream. A white space character matches zero or more white space characters in the input stream.

If the from_stream overload fails to parse everything specified by the format string, or if insufficient information is parsed to specify a complete duration, time point, or calendrical data structure, ios_base::failbit is set in the basic_istream.

%a	The locale's full or abbreviated case-insensitive weekday name.
%A	Equivalent to %a.
%b	The locale's full or abbreviated case-insensitive month name.
%B	Equivalent to %b.
%c	The locale's date and time representation. The modified command %Ec interprets the locale's alternate date and time representation.
%C	The century as a decimal number. The modified command %NC where N is a positive decimal integer specifies the maximum number of characters to read. If not specified, the default is 2. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required. The modified commands %EC and %OC interpret the locale's alternative representation of the century.
%d	The day of the month as a decimal number. The modified command %Nd where N is a positive decimal integer specifies the maximum number of characters to read. If not specified, the default is 2. Leading zeroes are permitted but not required. The modified command %EC interprets the locale's alternative representation of the day of the month.
%D	Equivalent to %m/%d/%y.
%e	Equivalent to %d and can be modified like %d.

Add new section [time.calendar] after 23.17.9 Clocks [time.parse]:

23.17.10 The civil calendar [time.calendar]

The types in this subclause describe the civil (Gregorian) calendar and its relationship to sys_days and local_days.

23.17.10.1 Class last_spec [time.calendar.last]

The struct last_spec is used in conjunction with other calendar types to specify the last in a sequence. For example, depending on context, it can represent the last day of a month, or the last day of the week of a month.

There is an constexpr object of this type named last in the chrono_literals namespace.

struct last_spec
{
    explicit last_spec() = default;
};

23.17.10.2 Class day [time.calendar.day]

day represents a day of a month. It normally holds values in the range 1 to 31. However it may hold non-negative values outside this range. It can be constructed with any unsigned value, which will be subsequently truncated to fit into day's unspecified internal storage. day is equality and less-than comparable, and participates in basic arithmetic with days representing the quantity between any two day's. One can form a day literal with d. And one can stream out a day. day has explicit conversions to and from unsigned.

23.17.10.5 Class weekday [time.calendar.weekday]

weekday represents a day of the week in the civil calendar. It normally holds values in the range 0 to 6, corresponding to Sunday through Saturday. However it may hold non-negative values outside this range. It can be constructed with any unsigned value, which will be subsequently truncated to fit into weekday's unspecified internal storage. weekday is equality comparable. weekday is not less-than comparable because there is no universal consensus on which day is the first day of the week. This design chooses the encoding of 0 to 6 to represent Sunday through Saturday only because this is consistent with existing C and C++ practice. However weekday's comparison and arithmetic operations treat the days of the week as a circular range, with no beginning and no end. One can stream out a weekday. weekday has explicit conversions to and from unsigned. There are 7 weekday constants, one for each day of the week in the chrono_literals namespace.

A weekday can be implicitly constructed from a sys_days. This is the computation that discovers the day of the week of an arbitrary date.

A weekday can be indexed with either unsigned or last. This produces new types which represent the first, second, third, fourth, fifth or last weekdays of a month.

Returns: If ok(), returns a sys_days holding a count of days from the sys_days epoch to *this (a negative value if *this represents a date prior to the sys_days epoch). Otherwise if y_.ok() && m_.ok() == true returns a sys_days which is offset from sys_days{y_/m_/last} by the number of days d_ is offset from sys_days{y_/m_/last}.day(). Otherwise the value returned is unspecified.

Remarks: A sys_days in the range [days{-12687428}, days{11248737}] which is converted to a year_month_day, shall have the same value when converted back to a sys_days.

[Example:

static_assert(year_month_day{sys_days{2017y/jan/0}}  == 2016y/dec/31);

23.17.10.17 civil calendar conventional syntax operators [time.calendar.operators]

A set of overloaded operator/() provide a conventional syntax for the creation of civil calendar dates. The year, month and day ordering are accepted in any of the following 3 orders:

1. y/m/d
2. m/d/y
3. d/m/y

Anywhere a "day" is required one can also specify one of:

• last
• weekday[i]
• weekday[last]

Partial-date-types such as year_month and month_day can be created by simply not applying the second division operator for any of the three orders. For example:

year_month ym = 2015y/apr;
month_day md1 = apr/4;
month_day md2 = 4d/apr;

Everything not intended as above is ill-formed, with the notable exception of an expression that consists of nothing but int, which has type int.

auto a = 2015/4/4;       // a == int(125)
auto b = 2015y/4/4;      // b == year_month_day{year(2015), month(4), day(4)}
auto c = 2015y/4d/apr;   // error: invalid operands to binary expression ('chrono::year' and 'chrono::day')

Add new section [time.time_of_day] after 23.17.10 The civil calendar [time.calendar]:

23.17.11 Class time_of_day [time.time_of_day]

The time_of_day class breaks a duration which represents the time elapsed since midnight, into a "broken" down time such as hours:minutes:seconds. The Duration template parameter dictates the precision to which the time is broken down. This can vary from a course precision of hours to a very fine precision of nanoseconds. time_of_day is primarily a formatting tool.

template <class Duration> class time_of_day;

There are 4 specializations of time_of_day to handle four precisions:

1. template <> class time_of_day<hours>
   

   This specialization handles hours since midnight.

2. template <> class time_of_day<minutes>
   

   This specialization handles hours:minutes since midnight.

3. template <> class time_of_day<seconds>
   

   This specialization handles hours:minutes:seconds since midnight.

4. template <class Rep, class Period> class time_of_day<duration<Rep, Period>>
   

   This specialization is restricted to Rep types that are integral, and Periods that are not an integral number of seconds. Typical uses are with milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds. This specialization handles hours:minute:seconds.fractional_seconds since midnight.

Each specialization of time_of_day is a trivially copyable class type.
Each specialization of time_of_day is a standard-layout class type.

Add new section [time.timezone] after 23.17.11 Class time_of_day [time.time_of_day]:

23.17.12 Time Zones [time.timezone]

This clause creates an API which exposes the IANA Time Zone database, and interfaces with sys_time and local_time. By using only this interface, time zone support is provided not only to the civil calendar types, but also to other user-written calendars that interface with sys_time and local_time.

23.17.12.1 The time zone database [time.timezone.database]

The following data structure is the time zone database, and the following functions access it.

struct tzdb
{
    string            version;
    vector<time_zone> zones;
    vector<link>      links;
    vector<leap>      leaps;

    const time_zone* locate_zone(string_view tz_name) const;
    const time_zone* current_zone() const;
};

class tzdb_list
{
    atomic<tzdb*> head_{nullptr};  // exposition only

public:
    class const_iterator;

    const tzdb& front() const noexcept;

    const_iterator erase_after(const_iterator p) noexcept;

    const_iterator begin() const noexcept;
    const_iterator end()   const noexcept;

    const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept;
    const_iterator cend()   const noexcept;
};

The tzdb_list database is a singleton. Access is granted to it via the get_tzdb_list() function which returns a reference to it. However this access is only needed for those applications which need to have long uptimes and have a need to update the time zone database while running. Other applications can implicitly access the front() of this list via the read-only namespace scope functions get_tzdb(), locate_zone() and current_zone(). Each vector in tzdb is sorted to enable fast lookup. One can iterate over and inspect this database. And multiple versions of the database can be used at once, via the tzdb_list.

const time_zone* tzdb::locate_zone(string_view tz_name) const;

Returns: If a time_zone is found for which name() == tz_name, returns a pointer to that time_zone. Otherwise if a link is found where tz_name == link.name(), then a pointer is returned to the time_zone for which zone.name() == link.target() [Note: A link is an alternative name for a time_zone. — end note]

Throws: If a const time_zone* can not be found as described in the Returns clause, throws a runtime_error. [Note: On non-exceptional return, the return value is always a pointer to a valid time_zone. — end note]

const time_zone* tzdb::current_zone() const;

Returns: A const time_zone* referring to the time zone which your computer has set as its local time zone.

list<tzdb>& get_tzdb_list();

Effects: If this is the first access to the database, will initialize the database. If this call initializes the database, the resulting database will be a tzdb_list which holds a single initialized tzdb.

Returns: A reference to the database.

Thread Safety: It is safe to call this function from multiple threads at one time.

Throws: runtime_error if for any reason a reference can not be returned to a valid list<tzdb>& containing one or more valid tzdb.

const tzdb& get_tzdb();

Returns: get_tzdb_list().front().

const time_zone* locate_zone(string_view tz_name);

Returns: get_tzdb().locate_zone(tz_name) which will initialize the timezone database if this is the first reference to the database.

const time_zone* current_zone();

Returns: get_tzdb().current_zone().

tzdb_list::const_iterator is a constant iterator which meets the forward iterator requirements and has a value type of tzdb.

const tzdb& tzdb_list::front() const noexcept;

Returns: *head_.

Remarks: this operation is thread safe with respect to reload_tzdb(). [Note: reload_tzdb() pushes a new tzdb onto the front of this container. — end note]

tzdb::const_iterator tzdb::erase_after(const_iterator p) noexcept;

Requires: The iterator following p is dereferenceable.

23.17.12.1.1 Remote time zone database support [time.timezone.database.remote]

The local time zone database is that supplied by the implementation when the application first accesses the database, for example via current_zone(). While the application is running, the implementation may choose to update the time zone database. This update shall not impact the application in any way unless the application calls the functions in this section. This potentially updated time zone database is referred to as the remote time zone database.

const tzdb& reload_tzdb();

Effects: This function first checks the version of the remote time zone database. If the version of the local and remote databases are the same, there are no effects. Otherwise the remote database is pushed to the front of the tzdb_list accessed by get_tzdb_list().

Returns: get_tzdb_list().front().

Remarks: No pointers, references or iterators are invalidated.

Thread Safety: This function is thread safe with respect to get_tzdb_list().front() and get_tzdb_list().erase_after().

Throws: runtime_error if for any reason a reference can not be returned to a valid tzdb.

string remote_version();

Returns: The latest remote database version. If the remote version s not available, the empty string is returned.

Note: If non-empty, this can be compared with get_tzdb().version to discover if the local and remote databases are equivalent.

23.17.12.2 Exception classes [time.timezone.exception]

nonexistent_local_time is thrown when one attempts to convert a non-existent local_time to a sys_time without specifying choose::earliest or choose::latest.

class nonexistent_local_time
    : public runtime_error
{
public:
    template <class Duration>
        nonexistent_local_time(local_time<Duration> tp, const local_info& i);
};

template <class Duration>
nonexistent_local_time::nonexistent_local_time(local_time<Duration> tp,
                                               const local_info& i);

Requires: i.result == local_info::nonexistent.

Effects: Constructs a nonexistent_local_time by initializing the base class with a sequence of char equivalent to that produced by os.str() initialized as shown below:

ostringstream os;
os << tp << " is in a gap between\n"
   << local_seconds{i.first.end.time_since_epoch()} + i.first.offset << ' '
   << i.first.abbrev << " and\n"
   << local_seconds{i.second.begin.time_since_epoch()} + i.second.offset << ' '
   << i.second.abbrev
   << " which are both equivalent to\n"
   << i.first.end << " UTC";

[Example:

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>

int
main()
{
    using namespace std::chrono;
    try
    {
        auto zt = zoned_time{"America/New_York", local_days{sun[2]/mar/2016} + 2h + 30min};
    }
    catch (const nonexistent_local_time& e)
    {
        std::cout << e.what() << '\n';
    }
}

Which outputs:

2016-03-13 02:30:00 is in a gap between
2016-03-13 02:00:00 EST and
2016-03-13 03:00:00 EDT which are both equivalent to

                                               const local_info& i);

Requires: i.result == local_info::ambiguous.

Effects: Constructs an ambiguous_local_time by initializing the base class with a sequence of char equivalent to that produced by os.str() initialized as shown below:

ostringstream os;
os << tp << " is ambiguous.  It could be\n"
   << tp << ' ' << i.first.abbrev << " == "
   << tp - i.first.offset << " UTC or\n"
   << tp << ' ' << i.second.abbrev  << " == "
   << tp - i.second.offset  << " UTC";

[Example:

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>

int
main()
{
    using namespace std::chrono;
    try
    {
        auto zt = zoned_time{"America/New_York", local_days{sun[1]/nov/2016} + 1h + 30min};
    }
    catch (const ambiguous_local_time& e)
    {
        std::cout << e.what() << '\n';
    }
}

Which outputs:

2016-11-06 01:30:00 is ambiguous.  It could be
2016-11-06 01:30:00 EDT == 2016-11-06 05:30:00 UTC or
2016-11-06 01:30:00 EST == 2016-11-06 06:30:00 UTC

23.17.12.3 Information classes [time.timezone.info]

A sys_info structure can be obtained from the combination of a time_zone and either a sys_time, or local_time. It can also be obtained from a zoned_time which is effectively a pair of a time_zone and sys_time.

This structure represents a lower-level API. Typical conversions from sys_time to local_time will use this structure implicitly, not explicitly.

struct sys_info
{
    sys_seconds   begin;
    sys_seconds   end;
    seconds       offset;
    minutes       save;
    string        abbrev;
};

The begin and end fields indicate that for the associated time_zone and time_point, the offset and abbrev are in effect in the range [begin, end). This information can be used to efficiently iterate the transitions of a time_zone.

The offset field indicates the UTC offset in effect for the associated time_zone and time_point. The relationship between local_time and sys_time is:

offset = local_time - sys_time

The save field is "extra" information not normally needed for conversion between local_time and sys_time. If save != 0min, this sys_info is said to be on "daylight saving" time, and offset - save suggests what this time_zone might use if it were off daylight saving. However this information should not be taken as authoritative. The only sure way to get such information is to query the time_zone with a time_point that returns an sys_info where save == 0min. There is no guarantee what time_point might return such an sys_info except that it is guaranteed not to be in the range [begin, end) (if save != 0min for this sys_info).

The abbrev field indicates the current abbreviation used for the associated time_zone and time_point. Abbreviations are not unique among the time_zones, and so one can not reliably map abbreviations back to a time_zone and UTC offset.

A sys_info can be streamed out in an unspecified format:

template <class charT, class traits>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const sys_info& r);

A local_info structure represents a lower-level API. Typical conversions from local_time to sys_time will use this structure implicitly, not explicitly.

struct local_info
{
    enum {unique, nonexistent, ambiguous} result;
    sys_info first;
    sys_info second;
};

When a local_time to sys_time conversion is unique, result == unique, first will be filled out with the correct sys_info and second will be zero-initialized. If the conversion stems from a nonexistent local_time then result == nonexistent, first will be filled out with the sys_info that ends just prior to the local_time and second will be filled out with the sys_info that begins just after the local_time. If the conversion stems from an ambiguous local_time then result == ambiguous, first will be filled out with the sys_info that ends just after the local_time and second will be filled out with the sys_info that starts just before the local_time.

A local_info can be streamed out in an unspecified format:

template <class charT, class traits>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const local_info& r);

23.17.12.4 Class time_zone [time.timezone.time_zone]

A time_zone represents all time zone transitions for a specific geographic area. time_zone construction is undocumented, and done during the database initialization. You can gain const access to a time_zone via functions such as locate_zone.

class time_zone
{
public:
    time_zone(const time_zone&) = delete;
    time_zone& operator=(const time_zone&) = delete;

    const string& name() const noexcept;

    template <class Duration> sys_info   get_info(sys_time<Duration> st)   const;
    template <class Duration> local_info get_info(local_time<Duration> tp) const;

    template <class Duration>
        sys_time<typename common_type<Duration, seconds>::type>
        to_sys(local_time<Duration> tp) const;

    template <class Duration>
        sys_time<typename common_type<Duration, seconds>::type>
        to_sys(local_time<Duration> tp, choose z) const;

    template <class Duration>
        local_time<typename common_type<Duration, seconds>::type>
        to_local(sys_time<Duration> tp) const;
};

bool operator==(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;
bool operator!=(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;
bool operator< (const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;
bool operator> (const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;
bool operator<=(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;
bool operator>=(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;

const string& time_zone::name() const noexcept;

Returns: The name of the time_zone.

Example: "America/New_York".

Note: Here is an unofficial list of time_zone names: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.

template <class Duration> sys_info time_zone::get_info(sys_time<Duration> st) const;

Returns: A sys_info i for which st is in the range [i.begin, i.end).

template <class Duration> local_info time_zone::get_info(local_time<Duration> tp) const;

Returns: A local_info for tp.

template <class Duration>
sys_time<typename common_type<Duration, seconds>::type>
time_zone::to_sys(local_time<Duration> tp) const;

Returns: A sys_time that is at least as fine as seconds, and will be finer if the argument tp has finer precision. This sys_time is the UTC equivalent of tp according to the rules of this time_zone.

Throws: If the conversion from tp to a sys_time is ambiguous, throws ambiguous_local_time. If the conversion from tp to a sys_time is nonexistent, throws nonexistent_local_time.

template <class Duration>
sys_time<typename common_type<Duration, seconds>::type>
time_zone::to_sys(local_time<Duration> tp, choose z) const;

Returns: A sys_time that is at least as fine as seconds, and will be finer if the argument tp has finer precision. This sys_time is the UTC equivalent of tp according to the rules of this time_zone. If the conversion from tp to a sys_time is ambiguous, returns the earlier sys_time if z == choose::earliest, and returns the later sys_time if z == choose::latest. If the tp represents a non-existent time between two UTC time_points, then the two UTC time_points will be the same, and that UTC time_point will be returned.

template <class Duration>
local_time<typename common_type<Duration, seconds>::type>
time_zone::to_local(sys_time<Duration> tp) const;

Returns: The local_time associated with tp and this time_zone.

bool operator==(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;

Returns: x.name() == y.name().

bool operator!=(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;

Returns: !(x == y).

bool operator<(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;

Returns: x.name() < y.name().

bool operator>(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;

Returns: y < x.

bool operator<=(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;

Returns: !(y < x).

bool operator>=(const time_zone& x, const time_zone& y) noexcept;

Returns: !(x < y).

23.17.12.5 Class zoned_traits [time.timezone.zoned_traits]

zoned_traits provides a means for customizing the behavior of zoned_time<Duration, TimeZonePtr> for the zoned_time default constructor, and constructors taking string_view. A specialization for const time_zone* is provided by the implementation.

template <class T> struct zoned_traits {};

template <>
struct zoned_traits<const time_zone*>
{
    static const time_zone* default_zone();
    static const time_zone* locate_zone(string_view name);
};

static const time_zone* zoned_traits<const time_zone*>::default_zone();

Returns: std::chrono::locate_zone("UTC").

static const time_zone* zoned_traits<const time_zone*>::locate_zone(string_view name);

Returns: std::chrono::locate_zone(name).

leap is a copyable class that is constructed and stored in the time zone database when initialized. You can explicitly convert it to a sys_seconds with the member function date() and that will be the date of the leap second insertion. leap is equality and less-than comparable, both with itself, and with sys_time<Duration>.

[Example:

Here is the date of all of the leap second insertions at the time of this writing:

    for (auto& l : get_tzdb().leaps)
        cout << l.date() << '\n';

which outputs:

A link is an alternative name for a time_zone. The alternative name is name(). The name of the time_zone for which this is an alternative name is target(). links will be constructed for you when the time zone database is initialized.

const string& link::name() const

Returns: name_.

const string& link::target() const

Returns: target_.

bool operator==(const link& x, const link& y)

Returns: x.name() == y.name().

bool operator!=(const link& x, const link& y)

Returns: !(x == y).

bool operator< (const link& x, const link& y)

Returns: x.name() < y.name().

bool operator> (const link& x, const link& y)

Returns: y < x.

bool operator<=(const link& x, const link& y)

Returns: !(y < x).

bool operator>=(const link& x, const link& y);

Returns: !(x < y).

Modify the synopsis in section [fs.filesystem.syn] 30.10.6 Header <filesystem> synopsis:

using file_time_type = chrono::time_point<trivial-clock chrono::file_clock>;

Back to TOC

Add to [thread.req.paramname] 33.2.1 Template parameter names:

1 Throughout this Clause, the names of template parameters are used to express type requirements. If a template parameter is named Predicate, operator() applied to the template argument shall return a value that is convertible to bool. A program that instantiates a template with a template parameter named Clock with a type for which chrono::is_clock_v<Clock> is false, is ill-formed.

Acknowledgements

A database parser is nothing without its database. I would like to thank the founding contributor of the IANA Time Zone Database Arthur David Olson. I would also like to thank the entire group of people who continually maintain it, and especially the IESG-designated TZ Coordinator, Paul Eggert. Without the work of these people, this software would have no data to parse.

I would also like to thank Jiangang Zhuang and Bjarne Stroustrup for invaluable feedback for the timezone portion of this library, which ended up also influencing the date.h library. Thanks also to Jonathan Wakely for agreeing to present this paper in Oulu for me. Thank you Daniel Krügler for the incredibly thorough review. Thank you Tomasz Kamiński for the very helpful changes to the proposed wording.

And I would also especially like to thank the growing list of contributors to this library.
