[PROPOSED] Use ‘restrict’ more consistently with standards
by Paul Eggert Dec. 20, 2022

Dec. 20, 2022

Previously, I assumed that if the declaration of a function F declared an argument via ‘T *restrict ARG’ then the compiler could take advantage of the ‘restrict’ when compiling F’s definition. However, apparently this is not the case: a top-level ‘restrict’ like that has no effect semantically unless it’s present in F’s definition. Fix this by using ‘restrict’ consistently in both declarations and definitions of functions where POSIX or the NetBSD API specifies ‘restrict’. (As an exception, do not use ‘restrict’ in tzfree’s argument as this appears to be a typo in NetBSD.) Do not bother using ‘restrict’ in internal functions, as this change is for consistency not for optimization. This change was prompted by a bug report for compiling on MS-Windows; see https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2022-December/032451.html Although the change does not fix the MS-Windows situation, the idea is to fix the MS-Windows issue another way. * asctime.c (asctime_r): * localtime.c (localtime_rz, localtime_r, gmtime_r, mktime_z): * private.h (asctime) [HAVE_INCOMPATIBLE_CTIME_R]: * strftime.c (strftime_l, strftime): Use ‘restrict’ consistently when POSIX or tzcode’s doc say so. --- NEWS | 4 ++++ asctime.c | 2 +- localtime.c | 9 +++++---- private.h | 2 +- strftime.c | 6 ++++-- 5 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 98cc14f..9b2d202 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -38,6 +38,10 @@ Unreleased, experimental changes '[[noreturn]] static void usage(void);' as strict C23 requires.

Confusing zdump output for America/Ojinaga
by Dave Rolsky Dec. 14, 2022

Dec. 14, 2022

I'm a bit confused regarding the output from zdump for the new America/Ojinaga zone. Here's the output for 2022: America/Ojinaga Sun Mar 13 08:59:59 2022 UT = Sun Mar 13 01:59:59 2022 MST isdst=0 gmtoff=-25200 America/Ojinaga Sun Mar 13 09:00:00 2022 UT = Sun Mar 13 03:00:00 2022 MDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-21600 America/Ojinaga Sun Oct 30 07:59:59 2022 UT = Sun Oct 30 01:59:59 2022 MDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-21600 America/Ojinaga Sun Oct 30 08:00:00 2022 UT = Sun Oct 30 03:00:00 2022 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 America/Ojinaga Sun Nov 6 06:59:59 2022 UT = Sun Nov 6 01:59:59 2022 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 America/Ojinaga Sun Nov 6 07:00:00 2022 UT = Sun Nov 6 01:00:00 2022 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600 Note that there's no November 30 event. But based on the zone's definition I'd expect to see these events: Oct 30 - change to _CST_ Nov 30 - No change, I guess, since the change to the US rules on Nov 30 doesn't actually change the offset or isdst flag. But maybe I'm misunderstanding how to interpret the zone file definition? Cheers, Dave Rolsky http://blog.urth.org https://github.com/autarch

Single source of truth for timezone data
by Benjamin Drung Dec. 11, 2022

Dec. 11, 2022

Hi everyone, I am writing this mail with my distribution maintainer hat on since I am responsible for keeping the tzdata package up-to-date in Ubuntu. I like to propose to have a single source of truth for timezone data, which should be the tzdata source package. Updating this package in a distribution like Debian/Ubuntu should be enough to update all consumers in the distribution. Sadly this is currently not the case. Ubuntu since 20.04 (focal) adds the four icu source files metaZones.txt, timezoneTypes.txt, windowsZones.txt, and zoneinfo64.txt from https://github.com/unicode-org/icu-data to the tzdata source package. Then it uses genrb and icupkg to generate the .res files. Since the icu project lacks behind the tzdata release by hours up to days, Ubuntu has to update tzdata twice (first the tzdata release, then the icu update). metaZones.txt, timezoneTypes.txt, and windowsZones.txt are generated using tools/cldr/cldr-to-icu/build-icu-data.xml from https://github.com/unicode-org/icu. zoneinfo64.txt is generated by tz2icu. build-icu-data.xml uses https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr as input to convert the cldr data to icu. If I saw that correctly, only common/supplemental/metaZones.xml needs to be updated there on an update. Can tzdata include the necessary data and tools to generate metaZones.xml from its source? Then it would be possible to generate the icu data from the tzdata source without the need to wait for icu to catch up. Then Debian/Ubuntu can ship a tzdata-icu package for it [1].

Error in America/Ojinaga
by Nikos (Nikolaos) Papadakos, PhD Dec. 10, 2022

Dec. 10, 2022

Hello, We are suspecting that your timezone update tzdb 2022g is incorrectly accounting for America/Ojinaga. Our customer is a major airline in Mexico and they tell me the time should America/Ojinaga should be the same as America/Denver. They provide as evidence official announcements in Spanish language. For example: https://www.dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle.php?codigo=5672650&fecha=29/11/2022#gsc… which says: "Artículo 5. III. Para el Estado de Baja California, así como para los municipios de Janos, Ascensión, Juárez, Praxedis G. Guerrero y Guadalupe, del Estado de Chihuahua, acorde a sus correlativos a su franja fronteriza, se aplica el meridiano 105 grados al oeste de Greenwich." I don't speak Spanish to be honest, my customer does. In the above the phrase seems to be "Juárez [...] del Estado de Chihuahua" which isreferring specifically to Ciudad Juárez in the State of Chihuahua. And then it says "el meridiano 105 grados al oeste de Greenwich" giving the degrees from Greenwich. They've given me some other references, but the above seems the most official. I would like to ask you to please double check which one is the correct. Best regards, Nikos P.S.: Please do not use my name or my company's name.

[PROPOSED] Try to check longstanding padding assumptions
by Paul Eggert Dec. 8, 2022

Dec. 8, 2022

This is helpful only when porting to oddball platforms in some situations where time_t is signed and has padding bits. (Even C23 allows these platforms.) Formerly tzcode would silently have undefined runtime behavior on such platforms; with this patch, there is likely a compile-time diagnostic instead. * private.h (static_assert): New macro, defined for pre-C23 compilers.

At a guess, I'd imagine for a multi-GNU project contributor, even using a proprietary vendor locked-in (and potentially future deprecated or locked-out) platform might be an issue (possibly queried only in person or private DM), as it is for many other open source contributors, where even mentioning GitHub evokes a spit-blah *NEVER* response, and moving to GH would result in losing some contributions. For some open-source projects, GH is used only as a public and backup repo for their primary dev workflows, as are sv.gnu.org and sv.non-gnu.org in some cases. A number are using in-house and/or public GitLab instances, and others have surfaced their email with public-inbox like https://lore.kernel.org/ where issues and patches can be handled using workflow tools like https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/b4/b4.git It would be good if the IETF, IANA, and/or ICANN made their email available in such searchable archives, an area where tz is currently lacking. -- Take care.

It conflicts with the data in the Asia/Singapore and Asia/Kuala-Lumpur zones. https://corporate.nas.gov.sg/media/collections-and-research/time-zone-adjus… That puts the change as being from 23:29:59 Dec 31, 1981 -> 00:00:00 Jan 1, 1982 whereas tzdata (going back to quite ancient versions) has the transition 23:59:59 Dec 31, 1981 -> 00:30:00 Jan 1, 1982 The version from the web page makes more sense to me (as in that is how I would have done that transition) but that does not mean that it is necessarily correct. Nothing there shows a copy of the actual gazette notification by the President (of Singapore in that case, but I think we can safely assume that it was done the same as in Malaysia) which would be the actual specification, but that 2015 press release says it happened as described that it would happen in the 1981 press release which is included there. The "asia" file just says of this transition: 7:30 - +0730 1982 Jan 1 8:00 - +08 which is correct in a sense for either version of when the transition occurred, and perhaps raises a general question of when a step forward takes place at the boundary between two days, does it more often delete the last part of the previous day or the first part of the next? I can find nothing in my tz list archives that says anything at all about this transition - the earliest message with any specific content about Singapore I could see was a Jan 2004 message from Mok Ly Yng (forwarded to the list by ado@), but that's really about earlier transitions - this one was already in the data (just with SGT instead of +0730 and +08). There's also a long Sept 2014 discussion about a zdump bug that this particular transition, as defined by zic, revealed, and a shorter discussion about the SGT removal in Sept 2018 - but that's all I managed to find about Singapore. While not about the Singapore/Malaysia zones themselves, even older data that appears on the list (ie: looking at diffs patches, and updated zone files) shows that in 1996 this transition was believed to have happened in May 1982 (which seems to be from Shanks). That altered in Dec 2003, in a change described as: * Fix several Malaysia and Singapore entries before 1983. Among other things, they enjoyed 20-minute DST from 1933 to 1936, and we have more-accurate dates for WWII transitions. (Thanks to Mok Ly Yng for this info.) which notably does not mention the change moving from May 1982 -> 1 Jan 1982 but that change was made in that version. Nothing appears to have happened since. I suspect it would be correct to change the first of those lines to be 7:30 - +0730 23:30 1981 Dec 30 but I am no authority on that. kre

New change in Mexico
by Heitor David Pinto Nov. 30, 2022

Nov. 30, 2022

Hello, Mexico is planning to change time zones again. Last month, the whole state of Chihuahua moved to UTC-6 without DST, causing a time change across the border with the US for part of the year. Now the northern municipalities want to have the same time zone as the respective neighboring cities in the US, for example Juárez in UTC-7 with DST, matching El Paso, and Ojinaga in UTC-6 with DST, matching Presidio. The congress of Chihuahua and the federal Chamber and Senate all approved the change, following the combined procedure specified in the new time zone law, and now it awaits the president's approval. The change should occur on the day after the official publication of the law, again on short notice.https://politica.expansion.mx/congreso/2022/11/24/aprueban-que-ayuntamientos-fronterizos-de-chihuahua-tengan-horario-de-verano But there is another problem. The actual law that was passed says that Juárez and Ojinaga will observe UTC-7 and UTC-6 during the DST period, not outside of it. I think that this was an oversight as a result of trying to pass the law through all the chambers very quickly, but I can't believe that no one noticed it. There is a legislative procedure in Mexico called "fe de erratas" to correct obvious mistakes without having to pass the law again, but in this case the correction would have to alter multiple sections so I'm not sure if it will be possible. Either way, I expect confusion in the next days.http://gaceta.diputados.gob.mx/PDF/65/2022/nov/20221124-VII.pdf Regards,Dave

[tz-announce] 2022g release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert via tz-announce Nov. 29, 2022

Nov. 29, 2022

The 2022g release of the tz code and data is available. This release contains the following changes: Briefly: The northern edge of Chihuahua changes to US timekeeping. Much of Greenland stops changing clocks after March 2023. Fix some pre-1996 timestamps in northern Canada. C89 is now deprecated; please use C99 or later. Portability fixes for AIX, libintl, MS-Windows, musl, z/OS In C code, use more C23 features if available. C23 timegm now supported by default Fixes for unlikely integer overflows Changes to future timestamps In the Mexican state of Chihuahua, the border strip near the US will change to agree with nearby US locations on 2022-11-30. The strip's western part, represented by Ciudad Juárez, switches from -06 all year to -07/-06 with US DST rules, like El Paso, TX. The eastern part, represented by Ojinaga, will observe US DST next year, like Presidio, TX. (Thanks to Heitor David Pinto.) A new Zone America/Ciudad_Juarez splits from America/Ojinaga. Much of Greenland, represented by America/Nuuk, stops observing winter time after March 2023, so its daylight saving time becomes standard time. (Thanks to Jonas Nyrup and Jürgen Appel.) Changes to past timestamps Changes for pre-1996 northern Canada (thanks to Chris Walton): Merge America/Iqaluit and America/Pangnirtung into the former, with a backward compatibility link for the latter name. There is no good evidence the two locations differ since 1970. This change affects pre-1996 America/Pangnirtung timestamps. Cambridge Bay, Inuvik, Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, Resolute and Yellowknife did not observe DST in 1965, and did observe DST from 1972 through 1979. Whitehorse moved from -09 to -08 on 1966-02-27, not 1967-05-28. Colombia's 1993 fallback was 02-06 24:00, not 04-04 00:00. (Thanks to Alois Treindl.) Singapore's 1981-12-31 change was at 16:00 UTC (23:30 local time), not 24:00 local time. (Thanks to Geoff Clare via Robert Elz.) Changes to code Although tzcode still works with C89, bugs found in recent routine maintenance indicate that bitrot has set in and that in practice C89 is no longer used to build tzcode. As it is a maintenance burden, support for C89 is planned to be removed soon. Instead, please use compilers compatible with C99, C11, C17, or C23. timegm, which tzcode implemented in 1989, will finally be standardized 34 years later as part of C23, so timegm is now supported even if STD_INSPIRED is not defined. Fix bug in zdump's tzalloc emulation on hosts that lack tm_zone. (Problem reported by Đoàn Trần Công Danh.) Fix bug in zic on hosts where malloc(0) yields NULL on success. (Problem reported by Tim McBrayer for AIX 6.1.) Fix zic configuration to avoid linkage failures on some platforms. (Problems reported by Gilmore Davidson and Igor Ivanov.) Work around MS-Windows nmake incompatibility with POSIX. (Problem reported by Manuela Friedrich.) Port mktime and strftime to debugging platforms where accessing uninitialized data has undefined behavior (strftime problem reported by Robert Elz). Check more carefully for unlikely integer overflows, preferring C23 <stdckdint.h> to overflow checking by hand, as the latter has had obscure bugs. Changes to build procedure New Makefile rule check_mild that skips checking whether Link lines are in the file 'backward'. (Inspired by a suggestion from Stephen Colebourne.)

America/Nuuk changes from UTC-2 to UTC-2
by Jonas Nyrup Nov. 29, 2022

Nov. 29, 2022

On last Saturday in October 2023 when DST ends America/Nuuk will switch from -03/-02 to -02/-01 https://sermitsiaq.ag/forslagtidsforskel-danmark-mindskes-sommertid-beholdes describes the proposed bill about switching from UTC-3 to UTC-2 and that is not about abolishing DST as they do not want to make a decision on that matter before the rest of EU. https://sermitsiaq.ag/groenland-skifte-tidszone-trods-bekymringer writes that on November 24th 2022 the Parliament of Greenland approved the bill and that *the bill* will take effect on March 25th 2023 at 22:00 when DST begins. Both articles translates well with Google Translate. Inatsisartut = the Parliament of Greenland Naalakkersuisut = the government of Greenland I assume the official document will be published on https://naalakkersuisut.gl/kundgoerelser/2022?sc_lang=da Best regards Jonas Nyrup
