Hi,
I would like to determine whether at a certain time point in time the
daylight savings time is in effect. This means such a logic should show
that today (16-Nov-2007) no daylight savings time (or European summertime)
is in effect, but at 1-Aug-2007 it is.
Thanks for your help

The simplest way would be to have our own table of correct values and
compare against those ranges. You'd have to keep historical data since
the laws about daylight saving were introduced in different places at
different times. You also need to account for the place where the
program is running since some locales don't support daylight saving
times (like Arizona or parts of Indiana, IIRC). Also, the times at
which DST goes in effect are different in different countries.
OTOH you could of course rely on the member of the 'tm' struct, called
tm_isdst. Google for it, I am sure there are example of how to use it.

No, that's not the simplest way.
The simplest way is to use std::time() and then std::localtime( ).
The latter returns a struct tm, which contains the member variable
tm_isdst which tells the info he is looking for.
Unless my manpage is wrong, this should even be standard.

Are you sure that those functions and the struct provide the correct
functionality for finding out, say, whether the WWI ended during DST
or not? What if I enter the DOB of the Pope, will I know if he was
born during European summertime?

I created a UTC clock using this:
UTCTime = MyTime.ToUniversalTime()
Now that we've turned the clocks ahead 1 hour for daylight savings time, the
clock is reporting the wrong UTC time. It is reporting UTC + 1 hour.
Is this a bug or is there a way I can querey for daylight time and make the
adjustment in my application?
Thanks.

Colleagues,
I wanted to share a function to find if a date is in Daylight Saving
Time or not. I was able to make this function faster than reading MSDN
to find functions that .NET provides. I didnt know if .NET was equipped
with the new changes President Bush made with respect to Daylight
Saving Time increase starting 2007. I could have found out by trying
..NET functions, only if I wasnt a lousy syntax scavanger.

Hi everyone,
I have 3 different time zones that I'm working with. Basically
converting from UTC to those 3 time zones.
Eastern Daylight Time (GMT -04:00, New York)
Central Daylight Time (GMT -05:00, Chicago)
Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -07:00, San Francisco)
Using C# I know how to detect if Daylight saving time is applied or not

I was investigating a function to determine whether daylight saving
was being observed on a particular date (given the platform's regional

zone offset on a variety of dates to see if it changes. Based on
that, I developed the following checkDST() function which, as far as I
can tell, should be sufficient.
It checks either the date passed to it or the current date with...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
