Detailed Description

Deprecated

As of SourcePro 10, use RWDateTime instead.

Class RWTime represents a time, stored as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1901 GMT. The Essential Tools User's Guide chapter on date and time classes describes how to set the time zone for your compiler. Failure to do so may result in GMT times being wrong.

Note

RWTime is unable to store times prior to 00:00:00 1 Jan 1901.

Output formatting is done using an RWLocale object. The default locale formats according to U.S. conventions.

Note

Because the default constructor for this class creates an instance holding the current date and time, constructing a large array of RWTime may be slow.

RWTime v[5000];  // Figures out the current time 5000 times

Those with access to the C++ Standard Library-based versions of the Essential Tools Module template collections should consider the following:

// Figures out the current time just once:
RWTValOrderedVector<RWTime> v(5000, RWTime());

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

Synopsis

#include <rw/rwtime.h>
RWTime a;  // Construct with current time

Persistence

Simple

Example

#include <rw/rwdate.h>
#include <rw/rwtime.h>
 
int main() {
  // Current time
  RWTime t;
  RWTime d(RWTime::beginDST(1990, RWZone::local()));
 
  std::cout << "Current time: " << t << std::endl;
  std::cout << "Start of DST, 1990: " << d << std::endl;
}

Program output:

Current time: 06/18/09 13:43:39
Start of DST, 1990: 04/01/90 03:00:00

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWTime() [1/6]

RWTime::RWTime ( )

inline

Default constructor. Constructs a time with the present time.

RWTime() [2/6]

RWTime::RWTime ( unsigned long s )

inline

Constructs a time with s seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1901 GMT. If s == 0, an invalid time is constructed.

Note

For small s, this may be prior to January 1, 1901 in your time zone.

The compiler can parse 0 as either an integer or a pointer. Since there is also a constructor that takes a pointer (to struct tm, if you want to construct a time from the unsigned long value 0, you must be explicit:

RWTime earlyTime((unsigned long)0);

RWTime() [3/6]

RWTime::RWTime	(	unsigned	hour,
		unsigned	minute,
		unsigned	second = 0,
		const RWZone &	zone = RWZone::local() )

Constructs a time with today's date and the specified hour, minute, and second, relative to the time zone zone, which defaults to local time.

RWTime() [4/6]

RWTime::RWTime	(	const RWDate &	date,
		unsigned	hour = 0,
		unsigned	minute = 0,
		unsigned	second = 0,
		const RWZone &	zone = RWZone::local() )

Constructs a time for a given date, hour, minute, and second, relative to the time zone zone, which defaults to local time.

Note

The maximum RWTime is much sooner than maximum RWDate. (In fact, it is on Feb. 5, 2037 for platforms with 4-byte longs.) This is a consequence of the fact that RWTime counts seconds, while RWDate deals only with full days.

RWTime() [5/6]

RWTime::RWTime	(	const RWDate &	date,
		const RWCString &	str,
		const RWZone &	zone = RWZone::local(),
		const RWLocale &	locale = RWLocale::global() )

Constructs a time for the given date, extracting the time from the string str. The string str should contain only the time. The time is understood to be relative to the time zone zone, which defaults to local time. The specified locale is used for formatting information. Use function isValid() to check the results.

Note

Not all time string errors can be detected by this function.

RWTime() [6/6]

RWTime::RWTime	(	const struct tm *	ptm,
		const RWZone &	zone = RWZone::local() )

Constructs a time from the tm_year, tm_mon, tm_mday, tm_hour, tm_min, and tm_sec components of the struct tm argument. These components are understood to be relative to the time zone zone, which defaults to local time.

Note

The numbering of months and years in a struct tm differs from that used in RWTime arguments.

Member Function Documentation

asString() [1/2]

RWCString RWTime::asString	(	char	format = '\0',
		const RWZone &	zone = RWZone::local(),
		const RWLocale &	locale = RWLocale::global() ) const

Returns self as a string, formatted by the RWLocale argument, with the time zone adjusted according to the RWZone argument. Formats are as defined by the C++ Standard Library function std::strftime(). The default format is the date followed by the time: "%x %X". The exact format of the date and time returned is dependent upon the Locale-dependent %x and %X formatting. For more information, see RWLocale.

asString() [2/2]

RWCString RWTime::asString	(	const char *	format,
		const RWZone &	zone = RWZone::local(),
		const RWLocale &	locale = RWLocale::global() ) const

Returns self as a string, formatted by the RWLocale argument, with the time zone adjusted according to the RWZone argument. Formats are as defined by the C++ Standard Library function std::strftime(). For more information, see RWLocale.

beginDST()

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

static

Returns the start of Daylight Saving Time (DST) for the given year, in the given time zone. Returns an "invalid time" if DST is not observed in that year and zone.

between()

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

inline

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

<0	self < *t
>0	self > *t

endDST()

static RWTime RWTime::endDST ( unsigned year, const RWZone & zone = RWZone::local() )

extract()

void RWTime::extract	(	struct tm *	ptm,
		const RWZone &	zone = RWZone::local() ) const

The encoding of struct tm members is different from that used in RWTime and RWDate functions.
