This file contains description of our my_timegm() function in date.c. It was
|
||
posted as a mail to links-list by Stephane Chazelas, and I thought it may be
|
||
interesting for someone, so I decided to include it in the ELinks distribution.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Un explanation for it as one (me to start with) may wonder why
|
||
this works.
|
||
|
||
We first change of calendar. To make things easy, let's say
|
||
that 0/0/0 0:0:0 in our new calendar is the Marsh 1st 1968, so
|
||
just after a february 29th as 1968 was a leap year.
|
||
|
||
if y/m/d h:min:s is time in our calendar
|
||
and
|
||
Y/M/D h:min:s in the new calendar
|
||
|
||
M = m - 1 - 2 (+ 12 if m < 3)
|
||
Y = y - 68 (-1 if m < 3)
|
||
D = d - 1
|
||
|
||
at Y/0/0 0:0:0, there has been Y / 4 leap years in the past, so
|
||
(int) 365 * Y + Y / 4 days have past.
|
||
|
||
at Y/M/0 0:0:0, lets find how many days have past since Y/0/0:
|
||
|
||
|Mar Feb
|
||
M| 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
|
||
-------------------+-----------------------------------------------
|
||
days in that month|31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31 31 28 or 29
|
||
-------------------+-----------------------------------------------
|
||
x = days at Y/M/0| 0 31 61 92 122 153 184 214 245 275 306 337
|
||
-------------------+-----------------------------------------------
|
||
first approximation|
|
||
y = 30 * M| 0 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 330
|
||
-------------------+-----------------------------------------------
|
||
x - y| 0 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 7
|
||
-------------------+-----------------------------------------------
|
||
(M + 4) * 3 / 5 - 2| 0 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 7
|
||
-------------------+-----------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
x - y = (M + 4) * 3 / 5 - 2
|
||
|
||
x = 30 * M + (M + 4) * 3 / 5 - 2
|
||
|
||
x = (153 * M + 2) / 5
|
||
|
||
So at Y/M/D 0:0:0,
|
||
|
||
Y * 1461 / 4 + (153 * M + 2) / 5 + D days have past since
|
||
the 1st of March of 1968
|
||
|
||
1st of March of 1968 was 671 days before 1970 Jan 1st (year 0
|
||
for unix time())
|
||
|
||
So
|
||
t = s + 60 * (min + 60 * (h + 24 * (Y * 1461 / 4 + (153 * M + 2) / 5 + D - 671)))
|
||
t = s + 60 * (min + 60 * (h + 24 * (Y * 1461 / 4 + (153 * M + 2) / 5 + d - 672)))
|
||
|
||
This shouldn't work past 2100/02/28 23:59:59 as 2100 is not a leap year.
