    Problem Report Number 1319
    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Problem Resolution ID TSD.X.0601
    Raised 1970-01-01 08:00
    Updated 2003-03-13 08:00
    Published 1998-03-31 08:00
    Product Standard Internationalised System Calls and Libraries Extended V2 (UNIX 98)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 5.0.2
    Test Identification base/getdate 53
    Problem Summary TSD4U.00217 The range of dates used by this test may not be representable on some implementations.
    Problem Text

    XSH5 p. 325 lists the mandated values for getdate_err, including the following:

    8 Invalid input specification. For example, February 31; or a time is specified
    that can not be represented in a time_t (representing the time in seconds since
    00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970).

    On the implementation in question, time_t can represent times from
    Dec 13, 1901 8:45:52 UTC to Jan 19, 2038 3:14:07 UTC.

    The test is trying to format dates in 1850 and 2150; the implementation correctly
    reports that time_t cannot represent them.

    Test Output


    TEST PURPOSE #53
