[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.)

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.

1981/2 Singapore+Malaysia switch from GMT+0730 to GMT+0800
by Robert Elz Dec. 1, 2022

Dec. 1, 2022

This press release was discovered, and brought up in another forum by Geoff Clare. 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
