Detailed Description

Abstract base class managing a calendar date.

Library: ilog

From IBM ICU classes, adapted for Rogue Wave Views libraries.
Copyright (C) 1997-1999, International Business Machines Corporation and others. All Rights Reserved.

IlCalendar is an abstract base class for converting between a IlDate object and a set of integer fields such as YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, and so on. (A IlDate object represents a specific instant in time with millisecond precision.)

Subclasses of IlCalendar interpret a IlDate according to the rules of a specific calendar system. The Rogue Wave Views library provides one concrete subclass of IlCalendar: IlGregorianCalendar. Future subclasses could represent the various types of lunar calendars in use in many parts of the world.

Like other locale-sensitive classes, IlCalendar provides a class method, getInstance, for getting a generally useful object of this type. IlCalendar getInstance() method returns a IlGregorianCalendar object whose time fields have been initialized with the current date and time:

IlCalendar rightNow = IlCalendar.getInstance();

An IlCalendar object can produce all the time field values needed to implement the date-time formatting for a particular language and calendar style (for example, Japanese-Gregorian, Japanese-Traditional).

When computing a IlDate from time fields, two special circumstances may arise: there may be insufficient information to compute the IlDate (such as only year and month but no day in the month), or there may be inconsistent information (such as "Tuesday, July 15, 1996" – July 15, 1996 is actually a Monday).

Insufficient information. The calendar will use default information to specify the missing fields. This may vary by calendar; for the Gregorian calendar, the default for a field is the same as that of the start of the epoch: that is, YEAR = 1970, MONTH = JANUARY, DATE = 1, and so on.

Inconsistent information. If fields conflict, the calendar will give preference to fields set more recently. For example, when determining the day, the calendar will look for one of the following combinations of fields. The most recent combination, as determined by the most recently set single field, will be used.

MONTH + DAY_OF_MONTH
MONTH + WEEK_OF_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK
MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK
DAY_OF_YEAR
DAY_OF_WEEK + WEEK_OF_YEAR

For the time of day:

HOUR_OF_DAY

AM_PM + HOUR

Note: for some non-Gregorian calendars, different fields may be necessary for complete disambiguation. For example, a full specification of the historical Arabic astronomical calendar requires year, month, day-of-month and day-of-week in some cases.

Note

There are possible ambiguities in the interpretation of certain singular times, which are resolved in the following ways:

24:00:00 belongs to the following day. That is, 23:59 on Dec 31, 1969 < 24:00 on Jan 1, 1970 < 24:01:00 on Jan 1, 1970
Although historically not precise, midnight also belongs to am, and noon belongs to pm, so on the same day, 12:00 am (midnight) < 12:01 am, and 12:00 pm (noon) < 12:01 pm

The date or time format strings are not part of the definition of a calendar, as those can be modified or overriden by the user at runtime.

IlCalendar provides an API for field rolling, where fields can be incremented or decremented, but wrap around. For example, rolling the month up in the date December 12, 1996 results in January 12, 1996.

IlCalendar also provides a date arithmetic function for adding the specified (signed) amount of time to a particular time field. For example, subtracting 5 days from the date September 12, 1996 results in September 7, 1996.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add()

virtual void IlCalendar::add	(	IlDateFields	field,
		IlInt	amount,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)

pure virtual

An arithmetic function for IlDate type. This function adds the specified (signed) amount of time to the given time field, based on the calendar rules.

For example, to subtract 5 days from the current time of the calendar, call add(IlCalendar::DATE, -5). When adding on the month or IlCalendar::MONTH field, other fields such as date might conflict and need to be changed. For instance, adding 1 month on the date 01/31/96 will result in 02/29/96.

Parameters

field	Specifies which date field to modify.
amount	The amount of time to be added to the field, in the natural unit for that field (for example, days for the day fields, hours for the hour field).
status	An output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid or restricted by leniency, this will be set to an error status.

Implemented in IlGregorianCalendar.

◆ adoptTimeZone()

void IlCalendar::adoptTimeZone ( IlTimeZone * value )

Sets the calendar time zone to be the one passed in.

The IlCalendar takes ownership of the IlTimeZone; the caller is no longer responsible for deleting it. If the given time zone is 0, this function has no effect.

Parameters

value The given time zone.

◆ after()

IlBoolean IlCalendar::after	(	const IlCalendar &	when,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)		const

Returns IlTrue if this IlCalendar current time is after when current time.

Parameters

when	The `IlCalendar` to be compared with this `IlCalendar`. Although this is a `const` parameter, the object may be modified physically.
status	An output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid or restricted by leniency, this will be set to an error status.

Returns: IlTrue if the current time of this IlCalendar is after the time of IlCalendar when; IlFalse otherwise.

◆ before()

IlBoolean IlCalendar::before	(	const IlCalendar &	when,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)		const

Returns IlTrue if this IlCalendar current time is before when current time.

Parameters

when	The `IlCalendar` to be compared with this `IlCalendar`. Although this is a `const` parameter, the object may be modified physically.
status	Output param set to success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid or restricted by leniency, this will be set to an error status.

Returns: IlTrue if the current time of this IlCalendar is before the time of IlCalendar when; IlFalse otherwise.

void IlCalendar::clear ( )

Clears the values of all the time fields, making them both unset and assigning them a value of zero.

The field values will be determined during the next resolving of time into time fields.

◆ clear() [2/2]

void IlCalendar::clear ( IlDateFields field )

Clears the value in the given time field, both making it unset and assigning it a value of zero.

This field value will be determined during the next resolving of time into time fields.

Parameters

field The time field to be cleared.

◆ complete()

void IlCalendar::complete ( IlDateErrorCode & status )

protected

Recomputes the current time from currently set fields.

After computation, any unset fields in the time field list are set.

Parameters

status An output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid or restricted by leniency, this will be set to an error status.

◆ computeFields()

virtual void IlCalendar::computeFields ( IlDateErrorCode & status )

protectedpure virtual

Converts GMT as milliseconds to time field values.

This allows you to sync up the time field values with a new time that is set for the calendar. This method does NOT recompute the time first; to recompute the time, then the fields, use the method complete().

Parameters

status An output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit.

Implemented in IlGregorianCalendar.

◆ computeTime()

virtual void IlCalendar::computeTime ( IlDateErrorCode & status )

protectedpure virtual

Converts IlCalendar time field values to GMT, in milliseconds.

◆ equals()

IlBoolean IlCalendar::equals	(	const IlCalendar &	when,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)		const

Compares the IlCalendar time, whereas IlCalendar::operator== compares the equality of IlCalendar objects.

Parameters

when	The `IlCalendar` to be compared with this `IlCalendar`. Although this is a `const` parameter, the object may be modified physically.

◆ equivalentTo()

virtual IlBoolean IlCalendar::equivalentTo ( const IlCalendar & other ) const

virtual

Returns IlTrue if another IlCalendar object is equivalent to this one.

An equivalent IlCalendar will behave exactly as this one does, but may be set to a different time.

Deprecated:

Reimplemented in IlGregorianCalendar.

◆ fieldDifference()

virtual IlInt IlCalendar::fieldDifference	(	IlDate	when,
		IlDateFields	field,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)

virtual

Returns the difference between the given time and the time this calendar object is set to.

If this calendar is set before the given time, the returned value will be positive. If this calendar is set after the given time, the returned value will be negative. The field parameter specifies the units of the return value. For example, if fieldDifference(when, IlCalendar.MONTH) returns 3, then this calendar is set to 3 months before when, and possibly some additional time less than one month.

As a side effect of this call, this calendar is advanced toward when by the given amount. That is, calling this method has the side effect of calling add(field, n), where n is the return value.

Usage: To use this method, call it first with the largest field of interest, then with progressively smaller fields. For example:

int y = cal.fieldDifference(when, IlCalendar.YEAR);
int m = cal.fieldDifference(when, IlCalendar.MONTH);
int d = cal.fieldDifference(when, IlCalendar.DATE);

computes the difference between cal and when in years, months, and days.

Note: fieldDifference() is asymmetrical. That is, in the following code:

cal.setTime(date1);
int m1 = cal.fieldDifference(date2, IlCalendar.MONTH);
int d1 = cal.fieldDifference(date2, IlCalendar.DATE);
cal.setTime(date2);
int m2 = cal.fieldDifference(date1, IlCalendar.MONTH);
int d2 = cal.fieldDifference(date1, IlCalendar.DATE);

you might expect that m1 == -m2 && d1 == -d2. However, this is not generally the case, because of irregularities in the underlying calendar system (for example, the Gregorian calendar has a variable number of days per month).

Parameters

when	The date to compare this calendar time to.
field	The field in which to compute the result.
status	An output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid, this will be set to an error status.

Returns: The difference, either positive or negative, between this calendar time and when, in terms of field.

◆ get()

IlInt IlCalendar::get	(	IlDateFields	field,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)		const

Indicates the value for a given time field.

It recalculates the current time field values if the time value has been changed by a call to setTime(). It returns 0 for unset fields if any fields have been explicitly set by a call to set(). To force a recomputation of all fields regardless of the previous state, call complete(). This method is semantically const, but may actually alter the object in memory.

Parameters

field	The given time field.
status	Fill-in parameter which receives the status of the operation.

Returns: The value for the given time field, or 0if the field is unset and set() has been called for any other field.

◆ getActualMaximum()

IlInt IlCalendar::getActualMaximum	(	IlDateFields	field,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)		const

Returns the maximum value that this field could have, given the current date.

For example, with the date Feb 3, 1997 and the DAY_OF_MONTH field, the actual maximum would be 28; for Feb 3, 1996, it is 29.

Similarly, for a Hebrew calendar, for some years the actual maximum for MONTH is 12, and for others it is 13.

The version of this function on IlCalendar uses an iterative algorithm to determine the actual maximum value for the field. There is almost always a more efficient way to accomplish this (in most cases, you can simply return getMaximum()). IlGregorianCalendar overrides this function with a more efficient implementation.

Parameters

field	The given time field.
status	An output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid, this will be set to an error status.

Returns: The maximum value for the given time field and the current date of this IlCalendar.

◆ getActualMinimum()

IlInt IlCalendar::getActualMinimum	(	IlDateFields	field,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)		const

Returns the minimum value that this field could have, given the current date.

For the Gregorian calendar, this is the same as getMinimum() and getGreatestMinimum().

The version of this function on IlCalendar uses an iterative algorithm to determine the actual minimum value for the field. There is almost always a more efficient way to accomplish this (in most cases, you can simply return getMinimum()). IlGregorianCalendar overrides this function with a more efficient implementation.

Parameters

field	The given time field.
status	An output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid, this will be set to an error status.

Returns: The minimum value for the given time field and the current date of this IlCalendar.

◆ getFirstDayOfWeek()

Implemented in IlGregorianCalendar.

◆ getNow()

static IlDate IlCalendar::getNow ( )

static

Returns the current UTC (GMT) time measured in milliseconds since 0:00:00 on 1/1/70 (derived from the system time).

Returns: The current UTC time in milliseconds.

◆ getTime()

IlDate IlCalendar::getTime ( IlDateErrorCode & status ) const

Gets this IlCalendar time as milliseconds.

This may involve recalculation of time due to previous calls to set time field values. The time specified is nonlocal UTC (GMT) time. Although this method is const, this object may actually be changed (semantically const).

Parameters

status Output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid or restricted by leniency, this will be set to an error status.

Returns: The current time in UTC (GMT) time, or zero if the operation failed.

◆ getTimeInMillis()

double IlCalendar::getTimeInMillis ( IlDateErrorCode & status ) const

protected

Gets this IlCalendar current time as a long.

Parameters

status An output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit.

Returns: The current time as UTC milliseconds from the epoch.

◆ getTimeZone()

const IlTimeZone& IlCalendar::getTimeZone ( ) const

Returns a reference to the time zone owned by this calendar.

The returned reference is valid only until clients make another call to adoptTimeZone() or setTimeZone(), or this IlCalendar is destroyed.

Returns: The time zone object associated with this calendar.

◆ inDaylightTime()

virtual IlBoolean IlCalendar::inDaylightTime ( IlDateErrorCode & status ) const

pure virtual

Queries if the current date for this IlCalendar is in Daylight Savings Time.

protected

Gets the value for a given time field.

Subclasses can use this function to fetch field values without forcing recomputation of time.

Parameters

field The given time field.

Returns: The value for the given time field.

◆ internalSet()

void IlCalendar::internalSet	(	IlDateFields	field,
		IlInt	value
	)

protected

Sets the value for a given time field.

This is a fast internal method for subclasses. It does not affect the fAreFieldsSet, fIsTimeSet, or areAllFieldsSet flags.

◆ isLenient()

IlBoolean IlCalendar::isLenient ( ) const

Indicates whether the date/time interpretation is lenient.

Returns: IlTrue if the date/time interpretation is lenient.

See also: setLenient().

◆ isSet()

IlBoolean IlCalendar::isSet ( IlDateFields field ) const

Determines if the given time field has a value set.

This can affect the resolving of time in IlCalendar. Unset fields have a value of 0, by definition.

Returns: IlTrue if the given time field has a value set; IlFalse otherwise.

◆ operator!=()

IlBoolean IlCalendar::operator!= ( const IlCalendar & that ) const

Compares the inequality of two IlCalendar objects.

Parameters

that	The `IlCalendar` object to be compared with.

Returns: IlTrue if the given IlCalendar is not the same as this IlCalendar; IlFalse otherwise.

◆ operator==()

virtual IlBoolean IlCalendar::operator== ( const IlCalendar & that ) const

virtual

Compares the equality of two IlCalendar objects.

Objects of different subclasses are considered unequal. This comparison is very exacting; two IlCalendar objects must be in exactly the same state to be considered equal. To compare based on the represented time, use equals() instead.

Parameters

that	The `IlCalendar` object to be compared with.

Returns: IlTrue if the given IlCalendar is the same as this IlCalendar; IlFalse otherwise.

Reimplemented in IlGregorianCalendar.

◆ orphanTimeZone()

IlTimeZone* IlCalendar::orphanTimeZone ( )

Returns the time zone owned by this calendar.

The caller owns the returned object and must delete it when done. After this call, the new time zone associated with this IlCalendar is the default IlTimeZone as returned by IlTimeZone::createDefault().

Returns: The time zone object which was associated with this calendar.

◆ roll() [1/2]

void IlCalendar::roll	(	IlDateFields	field,
		IlBoolean	up,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)

Time Field Rolling function: rolls (up/down) a single unit of time on the given time field.

For example, to roll the current date up by one day, call roll(IlCalendar::DATE, true). When rolling on the year or IlCalendar::YEAR field, it will roll the year value in the range between getMinimum(IlCalendar::YEAR) and the value returned by getMaximum(IlCalendar::YEAR). When rolling on the month or IlCalendar::MONTH field, other fields like date might conflict and, need to be changed. For instance, rolling the month up on the date 01/31/96 will result in 02/29/96. Rolling up always means rolling forward in time; for example, rolling the year up on 100 BC will result in 99 BC, for Gregorian calendar. When rolling on the hour-in-day or IlCalendar::HOUR_OF_DAY field, it will roll the hour value in the range between 0 and 23, which is zero-based.

Note: Do not use this method – use roll(IlDateFields, int, IlDateErrorCode&) instead.

Parameters

field	The time field.
up	Indicates if the value of the specified time field is to be rolled up or rolled down. Use `IlTrue` if rolling up, `IlFalse` otherwise.
status	Output param set to success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid or restricted by leniency, this will be set to an error status.

◆ roll() [2/2]

virtual void IlCalendar::roll	(	IlDateFields	field,
		IlInt	amount,
		IlDateErrorCode &	status
	)

pure virtual

Time Field Rolling function: rolls the given amount on the given time field.

For example, to roll the current date up by one day, call roll(IlCalendar::DATE, +1, status). When rolling on the month or IlCalendar::MONTH field, other fields such as date might conflict and need to be changed. For instance, rolling the month up on the date 01/31/96 will result in 02/29/96. Rolling by a positive value always means rolling forward in time; for example, rolling the year by +1 on 100 BC will result in 99 BC, for the Gregorian calendar. When rolling on the hour-in-day or IlCalendar::HOUR_OF_DAY field, it will roll the hour value in the range between 0 and 23, which is zero-based.

The only difference between roll() and add() is that roll() does not change the value of more significant fields when it reaches the minimum or maximum of its range, whereas add() does.

Parameters

field	The time field.
amount	The amount to roll.
status	An output parameter set to a success/failure code on exit. If any value previously set in the time field is invalid, this will be set to an error status.

Implemented in IlGregorianCalendar.
