WallClock

Posted: 05/25/07 00:52:38 On linux with dmd, tango r2247 WallClock?.now - Clock.now => 2h WallClock?.zone => 1h Is this daylight saving? How can i convert a given UTC time value, into a local time? The zone value seams missing one hour. Ideally the daylight saving shall be dependent on the given time value.

It's a pain to handle because of how linux exposes the Time/Date functions ... you have to use WallClock?.toDate(utc) to get DST taken into account.

kris Joined: 03/27/04 Posts: 581	Posted: 06/02/07 08:05:47 WallClock? has a couple of new functions called toLocal() and toUtc() ... hope they do the trick :)
