From 83859e1115269cf56d21669361d4ddbe2687831c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2022 20:08:32 -0500 Subject: mktime: improve heuristic for ca-1986 Indiana DST This patch syncs mktime.c from Gnulib, fixing a problem reported by Mark Krenz , and it should fix BZ#29035 too. * time/mktime.c (__mktime_internal): Be more generous about accepting arguments with the wrong value of tm_isdst, by falling back to a one-hour DST difference if we find no nearby DST that is unusual. This fixes a problem where "1986-04-28 00:00 EDT" was rejected when TZ="America/Indianapolis" because the nearest DST timestamp occurred in 1970, a temporal distance too great for the old heuristic. This also also narrows the search a bit, which is a minor performance win. --- time/mktime.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) (limited to 'time') diff --git a/time/mktime.c b/time/mktime.c index aa12e28e16..7dc9d67ef9 100644 --- a/time/mktime.c +++ b/time/mktime.c @@ -429,8 +429,13 @@ __mktime_internal (struct tm *tp, time with the right value, and use its UTC offset.
