Hi there,
I suppose I found a bug in libc (V5.2.18 - don't have a newer version
around, maybe someone else can check the newer version), but according to
the ctime man page the following source yields a wrong result:
/*
** ctime.c
**
** Author : Benedikt Eric Heinen (beh)
** Date : Thu Dec 26 17:39:16 1996
**
** purpose:
** sample program for a bug(?) in ctime()
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int
main(
void)
{
time_t tt=(time_t)0;
puts(ctime(&tt));
return(0);
}
The result for this is:
Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970
Shouldn't the correct result be 'Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970' (one hour
earlier)?
