Detailed Description

Class rwsf::DateTime represents a date and time, stored in milliseconds, from January 1, 1901 00:00:00:000 UTC. Milliseconds are stored in a 64-bit integral type, which is represented by the global typedef rwsfint64.

rwsf::DateTime supports the ISO 8601 international standard for the formatting of dates and times.

rwsf::DateTimes can be converted to and from the Standard C Library type struct tm defined in <time.h>, and listed here.

`int tm_sec;`	Seconds after the minute - [0,59]
`int tm_min;`	Minutes after the hour - [0,59]
`int tm_hour;`	Hours since midnight - [0,23]
`int tm_mday;`	Day of the month - [1,31]
`int tm_mon;`	Months since January - [0,11]
`int tm_year;`	Years since 1900
`int tm_wday;`	Days since Sunday - [0,6]
`int tm_yday;`	Days since January 1 - [0,365]
`int tm_isdst;`	Daylight savings time flag

The default constructor for this class creates an instance with an invalid date and time, which facilitates creating a large array, as follows:

// Creates an array with 5000 undefined dates and times

rwsf::DateTime v[5000];

rwsf::DateTime objects can hold a variety of sentinel values that do not refer to actual dates. Consequently it is important to know whether an object holds an actual date before performing many operations. The isSentinel() function returns true when an object it is applied to holds a sentinel value.

The use of the isValid() method does not definitively determine whether a member function can be successfully applied to an object since the null sentinel value represents a valid rwsf::DateTime whose value is not yet determined.

Two-digit year specifiers assume the century 1900. It is strongly recommended that you create programs that use four-digit year specifiers.

DateTime is primary used for dates based on the Gregorian Calendar.

Modified Julian Days

The modern Modified Julian Day (MJD) was introduced in the 1950's and starts at midnight, as opposed to the historic Julian Day (JD), which began at 12 noon. It is defined as

MJD = JD - 2400000.5.

The half day is subtracted so that the day starts at midnight in conformance with civil time reckoning.

Four public member functions, all starting with julian, let you manipulate the date via Modified Julian days (MJD). Note that the Modified Julian day number is not the same as a date according to the Julian calendar. The Modified Julian day number is calculated using Algorithm 199 from Communications of the ACM, Volume 6, No. 8, (Aug. 1963), p. 444 and is valid for any valid Gregorian date in the Gregorian calendar.

Modified Julian days in rwsf::DateTime operate correctly from Modified Julian day 0, but can only be converted to month, date, and year for Modified Julian days that fall within the Gregorian Calendar.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

rwsf::DateTime::DateTime ( InitialState init_state = invalid )

Default constructor. Constructs an rwsf::DateTime with undefined date and time. If init_state is set to DateTime::setCurrentTime, an instance with the current date and time is created. If init_state is set to DateTime::null, an instance set to null is created.

rwsf::DateTime::DateTime ( const DateTime & dt )

Copy constructor.

rwsf::DateTime::DateTime ( rwsfint64 msec )

explicit

Constructs an rwsf::DateTime from the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1901 00:00:00:000 UTC. rwsfint64 is at least a 64 bit integral type. msec may be negative for representing times prior to midnight 01/01/1901.

Note: This constructor must be passed an instance of a rwsfint64 to ensure unambiguous construction.

For example, here is how to construct an rwsf::DateTime representing a time 230,375 milliseconds after midnight UTC on 01/01/1901:

rwsf::DateTime dt(rwsfint64(230375));

rwsf::DateTime::DateTime	(	const struct tm *	,
		unsigned	ms = `0`,
		const rwsf::TimeZone &	zone = `rwsf::TimeZone::local()`
	)

Constructs an rwsf::DateTime from the tm_year, tm_mon, tm_mday, tm_hour, tm_min, tm_sec components of the struct tm argument, with the milliseconds portion of the rwsf::DateTime specified by ms. The components are understood to be relative to the time zone parameter zone, which defaults to local time. Note that while struct tm uses 0-based indexing for days of the week and months, rwsf::DateTime uses 1-based indexing for these two parameters. The arguments included in struct tm are shown above in the class description's table.

rwsf::DateTime::DateTime	(	unsigned	day,
		const char *	month,
		unsigned	year,
		unsigned	hour,
		unsigned	minute,
		unsigned	second,
		unsigned	millisecond,
		const rwsf::Locale &	loc = `rwsf::Locale::global()`,
		const rwsf::TimeZone &	zone = `rwsf::TimeZone::local()`
	)

Constructs an rwsf::DateTime using the specified day, month, year, hour, minute, second, and millisecond, all relative to the time zone parameter zone, which defaults to local time. The optional locale argument is used to convert the month name.

rwsf::DateTime::DateTime	(	unsigned	day,
		unsigned	month,
		unsigned	year,
		unsigned	hour = `0`,
		unsigned	minute = `0`,
		unsigned	second = `0`,
		unsigned	millisecond = `0`,
		const rwsf::TimeZone &	zone = `rwsf::TimeZone::local()`
	)

Constructs an rwsf::DateTime using the specified day, month, year, hour, minute, second, and millisecond, all relative to the time zone parameter zone, which defaults to local time.

rwsf::DateTime::DateTime	(	const std::string &	str,
		SetType	set_type = `setBoth`,
		const rwsf::Locale &	loc = `rwsf::Locale::global()`,
		const rwsf::TimeZone &	zone = `rwsf::TimeZone::local()`
	)

explicit

Converts the string str to a date and/or time as indicated by set_type, all relative to the time zone parameter zone, which defaults to local time. By default, both the date and time are set using locale loc. The constructor expects the date and time portions of the std::string to be separated by a semicolon when both date and time are being set. The locale argument is used to convert the month name. The member function isValid() must be used to test whether the results are a valid date. Because rwsf::Locale cannot rigorously check date input, dates created this way should also be reconfirmed by the user.

Example:

rwsf::DateTime("April 4, 1998; 10:00 am",
rwsf::DateTime::setBoth,
rwsf::Locale::global());  // sets date and time
rwsf::DateTime("April 4, 1998",
rwsf::DateTime::setDate,
rwsf::Locale::global());  // sets date and
                          // initializes time to 00:00:00
rwsf::DateTime("10:00 am",
rwsf::DateTime::setTime,
rwsf::Locale::global());  // initializes date to
                          // today at time 10:00

rwsf::DateTime::DateTime	(	const std::string &	str,
		Format	f,
		const rwsf::Locale &	loc = `rwsf::Locale::global()`,
		const rwsf::TimeZone &	zone = `rwsf::TimeZone::local()`
	)

Constructs an rwsf::DateTime from the string str using the format specified by f. rwsf::DateTime currently supports the ISO 8601 format that is numeric and locale-neutral. As a result, the rwsf::Locale argument is ignored for ISO 8601, but is reserved for future use. The constructor uses the rwsf::TimeZone argument as a relative time zone offset unless the string specifies the UTC time zone or an offset from UTC, in which case the rwsf::TimeZone argument is ignored in favor of UTC.

Two Examples:

// Construct an rwsf::DateTime of 11:59:59 PM on December
// 24th,2001 in the rwsf::TimeZone::local() time zone.
rwsf::DateTime("2001-12-24T23:59:59",rwsf::DateTime::iso8601);
// Construct an rwsf::DateTime of 8 AM, April 12th, 1985 in
// the GMT time zone
rwsf::DateTime("1985-04-12T08:00:00Z", rwsf::DateTime::iso8601);

For a date or time supplied singly (for example, "2001-12-24" or "23:59:59"), rwsf::DateTime calls the system to retrieve the current date or time.

double rwsf::DateTime::julianDay ( ) const

Returns the value of the current date and time as a Modified Julian day number. The integer (whole number) part of the double indicates the day, and the fractional part indicates the time. For example, the Modified Julian day number for 1/1/1901 is 2415386. Since Modified Julian days start at midnight GMT, 12 a.m. is 2415386.5 and 6 p.m. is 2415386.75.

Note: The example values are computed using Greenwich meridian. A different time zone would change the result of julianDay().

void rwsf::DateTime::julianDay ( double j )

Sets the value of the date and time to the Modified Julian day number j. The integer (whole number) part of the double indicates the day, and the fractional part indicates the time. For example, the Julian day number for 1/1/1901 is 2415386. Since Julian days start at midnight GMT, 12 a.m. is 2415386.5 and 6 p.m. is 2415386.75.

Note: The example values are for an rwsf::DateTime instance set to the Greenwich meridian. The results would be different for rwsf::DateTime instances set to a different time zone.
