Straight "pass through" to libc sounds good to me. > and make the implementation set TZ before calling > strftime (perhaps unless an implementation which guarantees to read > tm_zone is detected). That might be slow. I notice what localtime does changing TZ is a noticable slowdown with glibc. (It re-reads the timezone file(s) on every TZ change.) I wonder if munging the global tzname[] variable would be enough. Bad for multi-threading, but we've got issues with that in the time funcs already. > Perhaps don't set > the non-C99 fields in what is used for the libc call to avoid > nonportable expectations.

I added "man 3 strftime" to the manual. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
