Hello List! strftime does not seem to parse the "%T" format specifier.
First of all, I don't actually know what is supposed to happen. However, this reference: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ctime/strftime/ states that "%T" is supposed to be a synonym for "%H:%M:%S": %T ISO 8601 time format (HH:MM:SS), equivalent to %H:%M:%S 14:55:02 Anyway, when I use "%T" in my format string, strftime returns 0 as the number of characters copied to the output buffer. This is nothing urgent for me -- I can simply use "%H:%M:%S". I only bring this up because g++ seems not to agree with some random bit of documentation I found on the internet. Here's the output from a sample program: C:\>strftime_test.exe cnt1 = 17, buf1 = 20130702-13:14:15 cnt2 = 0, buf2 = the compile line: C:\>g++ -o strftime_test strftime_test.cpp the compiler version: C:\>g++ --version g++ (rubenvb-4.8-stdthread) 4.8.1 20130324 (prerelease) and the test program: === strftime_test.cpp === #include <ctime> #include <iostream> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { tm mytm = { 15, 14, 13, 2, 6, 113 }; // not portable char buf1[129]; int cnt1 = strftime (buf1, 128, "%Y%m%d-%H:%M:%S", &mytm); std::cout << "cnt1 = " << cnt1 << ", buf1 = " << buf1 << std::endl; char buf2[129]; int cnt2 = strftime (buf2, 128, "%Y%m%d-%T", &mytm); std::cout << "cnt2 = " << cnt2 << ", buf2 = " << buf2 << std::endl; } === === Thanks for any feedback.
