If I do date from the command  prompt:
$ date
Tue Mar 16 10:19:51 EST 2004

If I do it from D:
date = Sat Jan 17 03:39:50 GMT-0500 1970

Is anybody using std.date at all?
(or std.zip?)

Ant
##########################
import std.date;

void main()
{
	printf("date = %.*s\n", std.date.toString(getUTCtime()));
}

Am currently interested in both of these. For the moment I've been hacking Win32 date functions in D, and spawning WinZips cmd-line tool, as am pressed for time.

I'd be interested in hearing of any serious exercising of the std.date stuff.

The "version (Win32)" section seems ok. Your example seems to work fine on my computer (WindowsXP).

@echo off
date /t
time /t
dmd std_date.d
std_date.exe
pause

I cut and pasted the code into my  current
project and it works fine and prints:

date = Wed Mar 17 19:39:21 GMT+1000 2004

(WinXP)

It's a problem with DMD for Linux. I reported it months ago. But there're problems with Windows too, as Phill said. Try to run the same program but setting your timezone to South America Pacific (Bogotá, Quito, Lima: GMT-5, but not in the US): it'll fail.

You're right. It doesn't work then.

One more thing: IIRC, Y. Tomino found the source of the bug somewhere in the DMD code, or in Phobos, I can't remember that well. Anyway, Walter should know how to solve it. With Linux, however, I think it's a different story.

Hmm, I missed that. Do you remember the message?
