Detailed Description

Class RWDate represents a date, stored as a Julian day number. The member function isValid() can be used to determine whether an RWDate is a valid date. For example, isValid() would return false for the date 29 February 1991 because 1991 is not a leap year. See the chapter on date and time classes in the Essential Tools Module User's Guide.

Note: RWDate instances can be converted to and from the C Standard Library type struct tm defined in <time.h>.

We recommend creating programs that use four-digit year specifiers. For more information, see the section on RWDate in the Essential Tools Module User's Guide.

Note that because the default constructor for this class creates an instance holding the current date, constructing a large array of RWDate may be slow.

RWDate v[5000]; // Figures out the current date 5000 times

When using the Essential Tools Module template collections, consider the following:

// Figures out the current date just once:

RWTValOrderedVector<RWDate> v(5000, RWDate());

Thanks to the smart allocation scheme of the standard collections, the above declaration results in only one call to the default constructor, followed by 5000 invocations of the copy constructor. In the case of RWDate, the copy constructor amounts to an assignment of one int to another, resulting in faster creation than the simple array.

Synopsis: #include <rw/rwdate.h>

RWDate a; // Construct today's date

Persistence: Simple

Example: #include <rw/rwdate.h>

int main ()

{

// ENIAC start date

RWDate d (14, "February", 1945);

// Today

RWDate today;

std::cout << d.asString("%A, %B %d 19%y")

<< " was the day the ENIAC computer was\nfirst turned on. "

<< today - d << " days have gone by since then. " << std::endl;

return 0;

}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWDate::RWDate ( )

inline

Default constructor. Constructs an RWDate with the present date.

RWDate::RWDate ( unsigned jd )

inline

Constructs a date from the Julian Day number jd. Note that it is possible to construct a valid RWDate that represents a day previous to the beginning of the Gregorian calendar for some locality. Rogue Wave doesn't know the specifics for your locality, so will not enforce an arbitrary cutoff for "validity."

RWDate::RWDate ( unsigned long jd )

explicit

Deprecated:: As of SourcePro 2017, use RWDate(unsigned) instead.

Constructs a date from the Julian Day number jd. Note that it is possible to construct a valid RWDate that represents a day previous to the beginning of the Gregorian calendar for some locality. Rogue Wave doesn't know the specifics for your locality, so will not enforce an arbitrary cutoff for "validity."

RWDate::RWDate	(	unsigned	day,
		unsigned	year
	)

Constructs an RWDate with a given day of the year and a given year. The member function isValid() can be used to test whether the results are a valid date.

RWDate::RWDate	(	unsigned	day,
		const char *	month,
		unsigned	year,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`
	)

Constructs an RWDate with the given day of the month, month, and year. The locale argument is used to convert the month name. Days should be 1-31, months may be specified as (for example): "January", "JAN", or "Jan", and the year may be specified as (for example) 1990, or 90. The member function isValid() can be used to test whether the results are a valid date.

RWDate::RWDate	(	unsigned	day,
		unsigned	month,
		unsigned	year
	)

Constructs an RWDate with the given day of the month, month of the year, and year. Days should be 1-31, months should be 1-12, and the year may be specified as (for example) 1990, or 90. The member function isValid() can be used to test whether the results are a valid date.

RWDate::RWDate	(	std::istream &	s,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`
	)

inline

Constructs a date whereby the locale argument reads and converts a full line to a date. Because RWLocale cannot rigorously check date input, the member function isValid() must be used to test whether the results are a valid date.

RWDate::RWDate	(	const RWCString &	str,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`
	)

Converts the string str to a date. Because RWLocale cannot rigorously check date input, the member function isValid() must be used to test whether the results are a valid date.

RWDate::RWDate	(	const RWTime &	t,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)

Constructs an RWDate from an RWTime. The time zone used defaults to local. The member function isValid() must be used to test whether the results are a valid date.

RWDate::RWDate ( const struct tm * tmbuf )

Constructs an RWDate from the contents of the struct tm argument members tm_year, tm_mon, and tm_mday. Note that the numbering of months and years used in struct tm differs from that used for RWDate operations. struct tm is declared in the C Standard Library include file <time.h>.

RWDate::RWDate ( const RWTimeTuple & tt )

explicit

Constructs an RWDateTime using the RWTimeTuple tt. Only the year, month and day of month values are referenced. All other members of tt are ignored.

If the tt represents a date prior to -4713-11-25, an invalid RWDate instance is constructed.

In 32-bit builds, if the tt represents a date after 11754509-07-22, and invalid RWDate instance is constructed.

RWDate::RWDate ( const RWTimeTupleOffset & tt )

explicit

Constructs an RWDateTime using the RWTimeTupleOffset tt. Only the year, month and day of month values are referenced. All other members of tt are ignored.

If the tt represents a date prior to -4713-11-25, an invalid RWDate instance is constructed.

In 32-bit builds, if the tt represents a date after 11754509-07-22, and invalid RWDate instance is constructed.

RWDate::RWDate ( const RWDate & d )

inline

Copy constructor.
