FYI, last month, Google released and open-sourced cctz <https://github.com/google/cctz>, a new time zone library for C++.
My favorite quote from the announcement <http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2015/09/introducing-cctz-simple-time-z...> on their Open Source Blog:
/"Time zones are logical and easy to use." —no one ever/
Don't think that project will help much, as the zone is not part of the opaque structure, but is a separate parameter in their API: that won't cause many problems! ;^> If we think back 15+ years, many problems were due to messing around with sub-chunks of dates, whether string, integer, or bits, instead of using the APIs provided to convert from one date representation to another. Is it September again in the date/time domain? -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
