* localtime.c (SMALLEST): New macro.
(time2sub) [TM_GMTOFF && !UNINIT_TRAP]:
If the UTC offset doesn't match the request, try the requested offset.
This catches a problem caught by -DTYPECHECK with a time stamp
near a transition from LMT to standard time, where both sides of
the transition have tm_isdst == 0. If !defined TM_GMTOFF ||
UNINIT_TRAP you're out of luck: mktime will still conform
to its spec but it'll be more likely to guess wrong on these
ambiguous inputs.
* private.h (UNINIT_TRAP): New macro that defaults to 0.
* Makefile, NEWS: Document this.
This is a bit cleaner and faster.
* zdump.c (HAVE_LOCALTIME_R, HAVE_TZSET): Default to 1.
(tzset) [!HAVE_TZSET]:
(localtime_r) [!HAVE_LOCALTIME_R]: Provide a replacement.
(settimezone): Call tzset after changing environ.
(my_localtime_r): Rename from my_localtime, and change API to
be compatible with localtime_r, not localtime. All uses changed.
* Makefile, NEWS: Document this.
The Mach project has been inactive for decades,
and mktime has evidently replaced gtime.
* Makefile: Remove comment about CMUCS.
* localtime.c (gtime) [CMUCS]: Remove.
* NEWS: Document the above.
* localtime.c [THREAD_SAFE]: Include pthread.h.
(VOLATILE): New macro.
(locallock) [THREAD_SAFE]: New static var.
(lock, unlock): New functions.
(lcl_is_set, gmt_is_set): Now VOLATILE.
(tzsetwall): Move cleaned-up guts to new function tzsetwall_unlocked,
for which this is now merely a locking wrapper.
(tzset): Similarly, for new function tzset_unlocked.
(localsub): Don't set tzname here; that's not thread-safe.
This change can lose information on hosts without TM_ZONE,
but there is no reliable way to fix that in a thread-safe way.
(localtime_tzset): New function, which does proper locking.
(localtime, localtime_r): Use it.
(gmtsub): Do not worry about initializing gmtptr, as that's now
the caller's responsibility.
(gmtime): Reimplement in terms of gmtime_r.
(timegm): Reimplement in terms of timeoff.
(gmtime_r, offtime, mktime, timeoff, time2posix, posix2time):
Lock at start and unlock at end.
* Makefile, NEWS: Document this.
* backzone: New file.
* Makefile (DATA): Add backzone.
(check_character_set): Check it.
(posix_packrat): New rule.
(.PHONY): Add it.
* NEWS: Document the above.
(Thanks to Alan Barrett for the suggestion.)
* Makefile (SOURCES): Move workman.sh here, from $(MISC).
(COMMON): Move NEWS here, from $(DOCS).
(tzdata$(VERSION).tar.gz): Move $(MISC) here, from
tzcode$(VERSION).tar.gz.
* NEWS: Document the above.
* Makefile (check_white_space): Rename from check_tabs; all uses
changed. Also check for trailing white space and for oddball
ASCII white space characters.
This harmless bug was introduced in release 2014f, which distributed
leapseconds.awk in both the code and the data tarballs.
It's code, so it should be in the code tarball.
* Makefile (DATA): Omit leapseconds.awk.
(check_character_set): Omit redundant check of $(LEAP_DEPS).
It allows multiple country codes per zone. Switch code and data to
use the new format, along with the recently-added Crozet Islands entry.
The old zone.tab file is still installed but is deprecated.
The new file uses UTF-8; add commentary saying that iso3166.tab is
planned to change to UTF-8.
* Theory, tzselect.8 (FILES): zone.tab -> time.tab.
* africa (Indian/Alfred_Faure): Remove link.
* antarctica: Mention Possession Island in comments.
* checktab.awk: Add support for checking time.tab.
* iso3166.tab: Mention planned switch to UTF-8.
Update ISO 3166-1 Newsletter from VI-15 to VI-16.
* time.tab: New file.
* tzselect.ksh (zonetabtype): New variable.
Add undocumented -t option, meant for developer testing.
(TZ_ZONE_TABLE): Use zonetabtype.
(output_distances, countries, regions, TZ): Support time.tab format.
(quoted_continents, distance_table, countries, regions)
(TZ, TZ_for_date): Quote shell strings more carefully.
* zone.tab: Refer to time.tab for detailed comments about format.
(Indian/Alfred_Faure): Remove.
* Makefile (TIMETABLES): New macro.
(TABDATA, install, check_tables): Use it.
(check_character_set, check_tables): Check time.tab too.
(check_time_t_alternatives): Use time.tab, not zone.tab.
* NEWS: Document the above.
For *.txt files, UTF-8 is not that important, and avoiding it
is better for users with older or misconfigured manpage readers.
* Makefile (check_character_set): Check that *.txt files
contain only safe characters.
($(MANTXTS)): Build *.txt files in the C locale, not in en_US.utf8.
* Makefile (NONSYM_CHAR, NONSYM_LINE): New macros.
(SAFE_SHARP_LINE): Don't let comments contain troublesome symbols.
(check_character_set): Don't let troublesome symbols appear in
source files, and don't let non-ASCII appear in .html files.
These changes pacify gcc 4.8.2-19ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 14.04,
and take advantage of recently-added GCC options when compiling
with GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS.
* Makefile (GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS): Add -Wdeclaration-after-statement,
-Wjump-misses-init, -Wsuggest-attribute=format.
* date.c (copyright, sccsid):
* strftime.c (sccsid):
Remove unused vars.
* date.c (main):
* localtime.c (tzparse):
Remove no-longer-needed uses of INITIALIZE; GCC is smart enough to
figure these out on its own now.
* localtime.c (gmtsub): Redo initialization of gmt_is_set to pacify GCC.
Retry malloc next time even if it failed this time.
* private.h, zdump.c (GNUC_or_lint): Remove, as it provoked a GCC
diagnostic about unused macros in some cases. Instead, just use
'lint'. All uses removed.
(TZ_DOMAIN): Don't define unless needed, as otherwise it provokes
a GCC diagnostic about unused macros.
* private.h (INITIALIZE): Simplify accordingly.
* NEWS: Document this.
In several cases our text files had commentary like this:
# Egypt to cancel daylight saving time
# <a href="http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/node/407168">
# http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/node/407168
# </a>
where lines 2 and 4 let the file be viewed by a browser with the
URL being clickable. In practice this approach does not work with
many modern browsers (I tested with Firefox and with Chrome) and
it clutters up the data, so in cases like the above this patch
removes lines 2 and 4.
(Problem reported by Steffen "Daode" Nurpmeso.)
This was appropriate before Unicode, where "`" and "'" often balanced
in visual output, but that's been obsolete for a while.
Overall, single-quote 'like this' instead of `like this', and
double-quote "like this" or (in typeset output) “like this”
instead of ``like this''. While we're at it, fix some glitches
with hyphens versus minus versus en dash versus em dash.
* Makefile ($(MANTXTS)): Use UTF-8 locale to produce *.txt output.
* checktab.awk, tzselect.ksh:
Quote 'like this' in diagnostics, instead of `like this'.
* date.1, newctime.3, newtzset.3, time2posix.3, zic.8 (q, lq, rq):
New macros. Use them for better double-quoting in output.
* workman.sh: Tell Perl that its stdin and stdout are UTF-8.
* NEWS: Document this.
* Makefile (DOCS): Move $(WEB_PAGES) here ...
(MISC): ... from here, so that they can contain UTF-8.
* tz-art.htm, tz-link.htm: Switch to UTF-8 encoding.
Prefer UTF-8 to HTML entities, e.g., prefer '–' to '–'.
* Makefile (INVALID_CHAR1): Rename to SAFE_CHARSET1.
(INVALID_CHAR2): Rename to SAFE_CHARSET2.
(INVALID_CHAR3): Rename to SAFE_CHARSET3.
(INVALID_CHAR): Remove.
(SAFE_CHARSET, SAFE_CHAR, SAFE_LINE, SAFE_SHARP_LINE, VALID_LINE):
New macros.
(check_character_set): Allow any UTF-8 character in some contexts,
including comments in the data, and in some auxiliary commentary files.
This works around Gnome bug 730332
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730332>.
zic 2014c introduced the idea of generating a transition at the
minimum time value -2**63, to avoid ambiguities about what to do
before the first real transition. Through Glib release 2.40, the
interval_end function of Glib's gtimezone.c subtracts one from
this, to find the end time of the zeroth interval (i.e., the
interval containing all the "early" time stamps); this subtraction
typically overflows and wraps around to 2**63 - 1, which causes
Glib to go off the rails and assume that all time stamps are
"early". For example, Glib computes Sao Paulo time stamps as if
Brazil's circa-1913 rules were still in effect.
(Thanks to Leonardo Chiquitto for reporting the bug.)
Work around the bug by not generating time stamps equal to -2**63.
Come to think of it, time stamps before the Big Bang are physically
suspect anyway, so don't generate time stamps before the Big Bang.
* Makefile (GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS): Add comment re BIG_BANG.
* NEWS, zic.8 (NOTES): Document this.
* zic.c (BIG_BANG): New macro.
(big_bang_time): New constant.
(writezone, outzone, addtt): Compare to big_bang_time, not to
min_time, when deciding whether to output a time stamp.
* Makefile (GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS): Add -Wno-address and -Wno-cast-qual.
Otherwise, GCC 4.8.1 complains about some of the following changes.
* localtime.c (wildabbr): Now const. This is a tiny bit more
efficient, POSIX allows it, and the ALL_STATE simplifications
below make use of it. All uses changed to cast if needed.
(settzname, tzload, localsub, gmtsub, timesub, time2sub, time1):
Protect less code with ALL_STATE; this is simpler and doesn't
change behavior (or, these days, efficiency).
(time1): Simplify the PCTS ifdef, and explain what PCTS is.
The current tzdata now goes to 17, which is uncomfortably close to
the NOSOLAR limit of 20.
* Makefile (CFLAGS): Remove NOSOLAR comment.
* tzfile.h (TZ_MAX_TYPES): Ignore NOSOLAR; always default to 256.
* NEWS: Document this.
Problem reported by Patrick 'P. J.' McDermott in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-October/020441.html>.
This code is quite a bit different from what he proposed.
* tzselect.ksh: Rewrite so that it should work with /bin/sh on
common platforms. For portability to Solaris 9 /bin/sh, use
`...`, not $(...), and avoid $((...)).
(doselect): New function. Use this instead of plain 'select'.
Callers no longer need to worry whether it sets the var to empty.
* Makefile, NEWS: Document this.
* Makefile: Let the user override AR, and build libtz.a before
installing it, as suggested by Michael Forney in
<https://github.com/eggert/tz/pull/3>. Also, let the user
override RANLIB. Modernize a bit by assuming POSIX.2-1992 or
later; this is safe nowadays and simplifies the libtz.a business.
And treat 'leapseconds' more like we used to, since it's
machine-independent a 'make clean' doesn't need to remove it.
(TZLIB): Remove.
(AR, RANLIB): New macros.
(TABDATA): Add leapseconds, so that 'make' builds it by default.
(DATA): Remove leapseconds, since $(TABDATA) now has it.
(all): Depend on libtz.a, not $(LIBOBJS).
(install): Install libtz.a using 'cp', like other files.
Also invoke $(RANLIB) on it, after installing.
Do not assume that TZDIR is not overridden.
(install, INSTALL, check_time_t_alternatives): Use 'mkdir -p', as
it's safe to assume nowadays (standardized in POSIX.2-1992).
(install, INSTALL): Prefer 'cp -f' to 'rm' followed by 'cp', as
it's safe to assume 'cp -f' nowadays (also standardized in POSIX.2-1992).
(libtz.a): Rename from $(DESTDIR)$(TZLIB), since we now build it here.
Use $(AR) rather than ar.
Use $(RANLIB) rather than trying to guess it.
(clean_misc): Do not remove 'leapseconds', as it's machine-independent.
(maintainer-clean): Remove 'leapseconds' here instead.
(clean, check_public): Standardize on 'rm -fr' rather than 'rm -f -r';
formerly the makefile was inconsistent.
(set-timestamps.out): Don't ignore failurs of the actual touch command.
