Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 I found that strftime("%Y") generates "-2147483648" when tm_year member is 2147481748.
It should be "2147483648". The negative sign should not be generated. Since 2147481748 + 1900 = 0x80000000, I guess overflow problem. % uname -a Linux hikaru.fsij.org 2.6.18-em64t-p4-smp #1 SMP Tue Dec 19 16:38:34 JST 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux % cat tst.c #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> int main() { struct tm tm; char buf[1024]; size_t ret; printf("sizeof(time_t): %ld\n", sizeof(time_t)); printf("sizeof(long): %ld\n", sizeof(long)); printf("sizeof(tm_year): %ld\n", sizeof(tm.tm_year)); tm.tm_year = 2147481748; printf("tm_year: %ld\n", (long)tm.tm_year); ret = strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%Y", &tm); if (ret == 0) { perror("strftime"); exit(1); } printf("result: %s\n", buf); return 0; } % gcc -Wall tst.c % ./a.out sizeof(time_t): 8 sizeof(long): 8 sizeof(tm_year): 4 tm_year: 2147481748 result: -2147483648 % dpkg -l|grep libc6 ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libc6-dev 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea ii libc6-i386 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: 32bit shared libraries for AM -- Tanaka Akira -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
