Detailed Description

Class RWDateTime 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 rwint64.

RWDateTime supports the ISO 8601 international standard for the formatting of dates and times. For information and formatting syntax, see the chapter on internationalization in the Essential Tools Module User's Guide.

RWDateTime is based on the proleptic Gregorian calendar. It applies Gregorian calendar rules for dates in the future as well as those prior to its introduction in 1582.

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 Essential Tools Module User's Guide provides more information.

Note: The modern Modified Julian Day (MJD) was introduced in the 1950s and starts at midnight, as opposed to the historic Julian Day (JD), which began at 12 noon. MJD 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.; Two-digit year specifiers assume the century 1900, so you should create programs that use four-digit year specifiers. You can enforce the use of a four-digit year by defining the build macro RW_CENTURY_REQD in RCB when building the libraries. Be aware, however, that defining this macro requires a four-digit year to be provided when constructing an RWDateTime. For more information, see the section on RWDateTime in the Essential Tools Module User's Guide.

An RWDateTime can be converted to and from an RWDate instance. RWDate represents a date with no time component and does not change according to the time zone. In contrast, RWDateTime represents a date and time and varies depending on the time zone in which the date and time data is retrieved.

Note: RWTime is deprecated and so are all methods that either take or return instances of this class. Deprecation means that these classes and related methods are no longer supported, and may be removed in a future release.

RWDateTime instances can also be converted to and from the C Standard Library type struct tm defined in <time.h>, and listed below.

The C Standard Library Type struct tm

`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, unlike RWDate, which holds the current date by default. Consequently, it is much quicker to create a large array using RWDateTime than it is using RWDate. The example below illustrates the difference:

// Figures out the current date 5000 times
RWDate v[5000];
// Creates an array with 5000 undefined dates and times
RWDateTime v[5000];

RWDateTime 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 holds a sentinel value.

Note that the use of the isValid() function does not determine whether a member function can be successfully applied to an object, since the null sentinel value represents a valid RWDateTime whose value is not yet determined. For more information about RWDateTime sentinels, see the section on RWDateTime Sentinels in the internationalization chapter of the Essential Tools Module User's Guide.

Synopsis: #include <rw/tools/datetime.h>

RWDateTime dt(RWDateTime::setCurrentTime); // construct

// today's date

Persistence: Simple

Example: #include <rw/tools/datetime.h>

#include <iostream>

int main() {

// Today's date

RWDateTime dt(RWDateTime::setCurrentTime);

// Last Sunday's date

RWDateTime lastSunday = dt.previous("Sunday");

std::cout << dt << std::endl << lastSunday << std::endl;

}

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum RWDateTime::Format

Specifies the format to be used for converting between RWCString and RWDateTime using the ISO 8601 standard. This standard converts any date and time to a locale-nonspecific numeric format.

Enumerator
iso8601_compat	Deprecated: As of SourcePro 14, use iso8601 instead. Parses dates, times, and date-times in the ISO 8601 standard formats as described in the ISO 8601 Compatibility Parser Reference.
iso8601_2000	Parses dates, times, and date-times in the ISO 8601:2000 standard formats as described in the ISO 8601:2000 Parser Reference.
iso8601_midnight24	Parses dates, times, and date-times in the ISO 8601:2000 standard format. When generating a string representation, midnight appears as hour 24 of the previous day rather than hour 0 of the given day.
iso8601	An alias for iso8601_2000.

enum RWDateTime::InitialState

Specifies whether the constructor should construct an invalid, null, or current RWDateTime. Default is to set an invalid RWDateTime, with an undefined date and time.

Enumerator
invalid	Constructs Invalid RWDateTime
null	Constructs null RWDateTime
setCurrentTime	Constructs RWDateTime consisting of current time

enum RWDateTime::SetType

Specifies whether the constructor should set just the date, just the time, or both. Default is to set both.

Enumerator
setDate	Sets the date
setTime	Sets the time
setBoth	Sets both the date and the time

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWDateTime::RWDateTime ( InitialState init_state = invalid )

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

RWDateTime::RWDateTime ( const RWDateTime & dt )

inline

Copy constructor.

RWDateTime::RWDateTime ( rwint64 msec )

inlineexplicit

Constructs an RWDateTime from the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1901 00:00:00:000 UTC. rwint64 is at least a 64-bit integral type.

RWDateTime::RWDateTime	(	const struct tm *	tmbuf,
		unsigned	msec = `0`,
		const RWZone &	loc = `RWZone::local()`
	)

Constructs an RWDateTime 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 RWDateTime as specified by msec. The components are understood to be relative to the time zone passed in, which defaults to local time. Note that the numbering of the months and years in a struct tm differs from that used in RWDateTime arguments, which start at the number 1. The arguments included in struct tm are shown in the class description.

The constructor tests as a precondition the struct tm pointer which cannot be null. If null, it asserts in debug builds and throws an object of type RWInternalErr in optimized builds.

This constructor produces a valid RWDateTime instance for date-time values between -4713-11-24T00:00:00.000 and 11754508-12-13T23:59:59.999 in the specified time zone. Attempts to create an RWDateTime with values outside this range will result in undefined behavior.

RWDateTime::RWDateTime	(	const RWTime &	t,
		unsigned	msec = `0`
	)

Deprecated:: As of SourcePro 10. Provided for compatibility with code that relies on the deprecated RWTime type.

Constructs an RWDateTime from the given RWTime using the msec argument for the number of milliseconds.

RWDateTime::RWDateTime	(	const RWDate &	d,
		unsigned	hours = `0`,
		unsigned	minutes = `0`,
		unsigned	seconds = `0`,
		unsigned	msec = `0`,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)

Constructs an RWDateTime using the RWDate d and the time specified by hours, minutes, seconds, and msec. The time specified defaults to local time.

RWDateTime::RWDateTime	(	const RWTimeTuple &	tt,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)

explicit

Constructs an RWDateTime using the RWTimeTuple tt in the specified time zone zone. The picosecond value of tt is rounded down to the nearest millisecond.

If tt represents a time before RWDateTime::minDateTime, an RWDateTime::pastSentinel value is constructed.

If tt represents a time after RWDateTime::maxDateTime, an RWDateTime::futureSentinel value is constructed.

RWDateTime::RWDateTime ( const RWTimeTupleOffset & tt )

explicit

Constructs an RWDateTime using the RWTimeTupleOffset tt. The picosecond value of tt is rounded down to the nearest millisecond.

If tt represents a time before RWDateTime::minDateTime, an RWDateTime::pastSentinel value is constructed.

If tt represents a time after RWDateTime::maxDateTime, an RWDateTime::futureSentinel value is constructed.

RWDateTime::RWDateTime	(	unsigned	month_day,
		const char *	month,
		unsigned	year,
		unsigned	hours,
		unsigned	minutes,
		unsigned	seconds,
		unsigned	msec,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)

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

This constructor produces a valid RWDateTime instance for date-time values between -4713-11-24T00:00:00.000 and 11754508-12-13T23:59:59.999 in the specified time zone. Attempts to create an RWDateTime with values outside this range will result in undefined behavior.

As a precondition, month is tested to determine if it is a null pointer. If null, the method asserts in debug mode, and throws RWInternalErr in optimized builds.

RWDateTime::RWDateTime	(	unsigned	day,
		unsigned	month,
		unsigned	year,
		unsigned	hours = `0`,
		unsigned	minutes = `0`,
		unsigned	seconds = `0`,
		unsigned	milliseconds = `0`,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)

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

This constructor produces a valid RWDateTime instance for date-time values between -4713-11-24T00:00:00.000 and 11754508-12-13T23:59:59.999 in the specified time zone. Attempts to create an RWDateTime with values outside this range will result in undefined behavior.

RWDateTime::RWDateTime	(	const RWCString &	str,
		SetType	set_type = `setBoth`,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)

explicit

Converts the string str to a date and/or time as indicated by set_type, all relative to the time zone specified, which defaults to local time. By default, both the date and time are set using RWLocale loc. The constructor expects the date and time portions of the RWCString to be separated by a semicolon when both date and time are being set. The locale argument is used to convert the month name.

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

This constructor handles years 0 to 9999. Passing a string with a year outside this range will result in undefined behavior. Year values 0 to 99 are treated differently based on how the library was built. In all builds that do not define the macro RW_CENTURY_REQD, years 0 to 99 are treated as 1900 to 1999. Debug builds that define the macro will produce a debug assertion. Release builds that define the macro will produce an invalid RWDateTime instance.

Two Examples:

RWDateTime("April 4, 1998; 10:00 am",
           RWDateTime::setBoth,
           RWLocale::global());  // sets date and time
RWDateTime("April 4, 1998",
           RWDateTime::setDate,
           RWLocale::global());  // sets date and initializes
                                 // time to 00:00:00

RWDateTime("10:00 am",
           RWDateTime::setTime,
           RWLocale::global());  // initializes date to
                                 // today at time 10:00

RWDateTime::RWDateTime	(	const RWCString &	str,
		Format	f,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)

Constructs an RWDateTime from the string str using the format specified by f. RWDateTime currently supports the ISO 8601 format which is numeric and locale-neutral; as such the RWLocale argument is ignored for ISO 8601, but is reserved for future use. The constructor uses the RWZone argument unless the string specifies the UTC time zone or an offset from UTC, in which case the RWZone argument is ignored in favor of UTC. For more information, see the section on applying the ISO standard to time zone offsets, in the internationalization chapter of the Essential Tools Module User's Guide.

This constructor handles four-digit year values 0000 to 9999. Passing a string with a year value that is not exactly four digits or is outside of this range will result in undefined behavior.

Note

Please note that confusion can occur when using a string that contains only a date or only a time indication, since it is not possible to differentiate between some representations of the two formats. For example. the string 190415 could represent either or both of the following:

date: the 15th day of the 4th month of the 19th year in the default century
time: 19:04:15

You can avoid such confusion by using more explicit formats. For example, you can completely and safely avoid all confusion if you are prepend "T" (allowed by the standard in time-only indications) for all times or if you always use extended formats.

For more information, see the section on applying the ISO standard to time zone offsets, in the internationalization chapter of the Essential Tools Module User's Guide.

Two Examples:

RWDateTime("1998-04-04T00:00:00-08:00",
           RWDateTime::iso8601,
           RWLocale::global());
RWDateTime("1998-04-04T00:00:00Z",
           RWDateTime::iso8601_midnight24,
           RWLocale::global());

RWDateTime("2001-12-24",
           RWDateTime::iso8601,
           RWLocale::global());  // initializes time to
                                 // 00:00:00
RWDateTime("10:24:55",
           RWDateTime::iso8601,
           RWLocale::global());  // initializes date to
                                 // current system date

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

RWDateTime::RWDateTime	(	std::istream &	s,
		SetType	set_type,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)

Reads a full line and converts it to a date and/or time as indicated by the set_type, all relative to the specified time zone, which defaults to local time. By default, both the date and time are set using the RWLocale loc. The constructor expects the date and time portions of the RWCString to be separated by a semi-colon when both day and time are being set. The locale argument is used to convert the month name.

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

This constructor handles years 0 to 9999. Passing a string with a year outside this range will result in undefined behavior.

Year values 0 to 99 are treated differently based on how the library was built. In all builds that do not define the macro RW_CENTURY_REQD, years 0 to 99 are treated as 1900 to 1999. Debug builds that define the macro will produce a debug assertion. Release builds that define the macro will produce an invalid RWDateTime instance.

Member Function Documentation

RWCString RWDateTime::asString	(	char	format,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)		const

Returns the date and time as a string, formatted by the optional locale argument. The function defaults to using the RWLocale global locale.

Formats are as defined in the description for RWLocale::asString(). RWDateTime extends these formats with the addition of the 'L' format specifier, which prints the milliseconds.

This method produces a valid output for date-time values between -4713-11-24T00:00:00.000 and 11754508-12-13T23:59:59.999 in the specified time zone. Attempts to invoke this method with values outside that range will result in undefined behavior.

The following table specifies the string produced for a given sentinel value.

Sentinel value	String produced
RWDateTime::nullSentinel	"NULL"
RWDateTime::futureSentinel	"#INVALID#"
RWDateTime::pastSentinel	"#INVALID#"
RWDateTime::invalidSentinel	"#INVALID#"
RWDateTime::userSentinel()	"#>n<#" where `n` is the integer passed to RWDateTime::userSentinel()

RWCString RWDateTime::asString	(	const char *	format,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)		const

Returns the date and time as a string, formatted by the optional locale argument. The function defaults to using the RWLocale global locale.

Formats are as defined in the description for RWLocale::asString(). RWDateTime extends these formats with the addition of the 'L' format specifier, which prints the milliseconds.

This method produces a valid output for date-time values between -4713-11-24T00:00:00.000 and 11754508-12-13T23:59:59.999 in the specified time zone. Attempts to invoke this method with values outside that range will result in undefined behavior.

The following table specifies the string produced for a given sentinel value.

Sentinel value	String produced
RWDateTime::nullSentinel	"NULL"
RWDateTime::futureSentinel	"#INVALID#"
RWDateTime::pastSentinel	"#INVALID#"
RWDateTime::invalidSentinel	"#INVALID#"
RWDateTime::userSentinel()	"#>n<#" where `n` is the integer passed to RWDateTime::userSentinel()

As a precondition, format is tested to determine if it is a null pointer. If null, the method asserts in debug mode, and throws RWInternalErr in optimized builds.

RWCString RWDateTime::asString	(	Format	format,
		const RWLocale &	loc = `RWLocale::global()`,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)		const

Returns the date and time as a string, using the specified format.

Currently supports the ISO 8601 format in the form "YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss[,sss]['Z'][+/-hh:mm]". This format is numeric and locale-neutral, and as such does not use the RWLocale argument.

The milliseconds portion of the string will appear when the milliseconds value is non-zero.

'Z' appears at the end of the formatted string when the zone is UTC. Otherwise, the hour and minute offset from UTC is formatted.

For more information, see the section on international standards for dates and times in the internationalization chapter of the Essential Tools Module User's Guide.

This method produces a valid output for date-time values between 0000-01-01T00:00:00 and 9999-12-31T23:59:59,999 in the specified time zone. Attempts to invoke this method with values outside that range will result in undefined behavior.

static RWDateTime RWDateTime::beginDST	(	unsigned	year,
		const RWZone &	zone = `RWZone::local()`
	)

static

Returns the first transition to daylight saving time (DST) for year in zone. Returns an RWDateTime::invalidSentinel if a daylight transition does not occur in that year and time zone.

bool RWDateTime::between	(	const RWDateTime &	a,
		const RWDateTime &	b
	)		const

Returns true if self is between a and b, inclusive.

RWspace RWDateTime::binaryStoreSize ( ) const

Returns the number of bytes necessary to store the object using the global function:

	)

friend

Reads dt from std::istream s. The function reads one full line, and the string it contains is converted according to the locale imbued on the stream. If the string cannot be converted to an RWDateTime, dt is set to RWDateTime::invalid.

Note: RWDateTime objects serialized via operator<<(std::ostream&, const RWDateTime&) and restored using this function are not guaranteed to roundtrip, and should not be used to persist date/time information. In order to persist RWDateTime objects such that they can be restored, see operator<<(RWvostream&, const RWDateTime&) and operator>>(RWvistream&, RWDateTime&).
