Modern-day civil // time follows the Gregorian Calendar and is a time-zone-independent concept. // A "date" is perhaps the most common example of a civil time (represented in // this library as cctz::civil_day). This library provides six classes and a // handful of functions that help with rounding, iterating, and arithmetic on // civil times while avoiding complications like daylight-saving time (DST). // // The following six classes form the core of this civil-time library: // // * civil_second // * civil_minute // * civil_hour // * civil_day // * civil_month // * civil_year // // Each class is a simple value type with the same interface for construction // and the same six accessors for each of the civil fields (year, month, day, // hour, minute, and second, aka YMDHMS). These classes differ only in their // alignment, which is indicated by the type name and specifies the field on // which arithmetic operates. // // Each class can be constructed by passing up to six optional integer // arguments representing the YMDHMS fields (in that order) to the // constructor. Omitted fields are assigned their minimum valid value. Hours, // minutes, and seconds will be set to 0, month and day will be set to 1, and // since there is no minimum valid year, it will be set to 1970. So, a // default-constructed civil-time object will have YMDHMS fields representing // "1970-01-01 00:00:00". Fields that are out-of-range are normalized (e.g., // October 32 -> November 1) so that all civil-time objects represent valid // values. // // Each civil-time class is aligned to the civil-time field indicated in the // class's name after normalization. Alignment is performed by setting all the // inferior fields to their minimum valid value (as described above). The // following are examples of how each of the six types would align the fields // representing November 22, 2015 at 12:34:56 in the afternoon. (Note: the // string format used here is not important; it's just a shorthand way of // showing the six YMDHMS fields.) // // civil_second 2015-11-22 12:34:56 // civil_minute 2015-11-22 12:34:00 // civil_hour 2015-11-22 12:00:00 // civil_day 2015-11-22 00:00:00 // civil_month 2015-11-01 00:00:00 // civil_year 2015-01-01 00:00:00 // // Each civil-time type performs arithmetic on the field to which it is // aligned. This means that adding 1 to a civil_day increments the day field // (normalizing as necessary), and subtracting 7 from a civil_month operates // on the month field (normalizing as necessary). All arithmetic produces a // valid civil time. Difference requires two similarly aligned civil-time // objects and returns the scalar answer in units of the objects' alignment. // For example, the difference between two civil_hour objects will give an // answer in units of civil hours. // // In addition to the six civil-time types just described, there are // a handful of helper functions and algorithms for performing common // calculations. These are described below. // // Note: In C++14 and later, this library is usable in a constexpr context. // // CONSTRUCTION: // // Each of the civil-time types can be constructed in two ways: by directly // passing to the constructor up to six (optional) integers representing the // YMDHMS fields, or by copying the YMDHMS fields from a differently aligned // civil-time type. // // civil_day default_value; // 1970-01-01 00:00:00 // // civil_day a(2015, 2, 3); // 2015-02-03 00:00:00 // civil_day b(2015, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6); // 2015-02-03 00:00:00 // civil_day c(2015); // 2015-01-01 00:00:00 // // civil_second ss(2015, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6); // 2015-02-03 04:05:06 // civil_minute mm(ss); // 2015-02-03 04:05:00 // civil_hour hh(mm); // 2015-02-03 04:00:00 // civil_day d(hh); // 2015-02-03 00:00:00 // civil_month m(d); // 2015-02-01 00:00:00 // civil_year y(m); // 2015-01-01 00:00:00 // // m = civil_month(y); // 2015-01-01 00:00:00 // d = civil_day(m); // 2015-01-01 00:00:00 // hh = civil_hour(d); // 2015-01-01 00:00:00 // mm = civil_minute(hh); // 2015-01-01 00:00:00 // ss = civil_second(mm); // 2015-01-01 00:00:00 // // ALIGNMENT CONVERSION: // // The alignment of a civil-time object cannot change, but the object may be // used to construct a new object with a different alignment. This is referred // to as "realigning". When realigning to a type with the same or more // precision (e.g., civil_day -> civil_second), the conversion may be // performed implicitly since no information is lost. However, if information // could be discarded (e.g., civil_second -> civil_day), the conversion must // be explicit at the call site. // // void fun(const civil_day& day); // // civil_second cs; // fun(cs); // Won't compile because data may be discarded // fun(civil_day(cs)); // OK: explicit conversion // // civil_day cd; // fun(cd); // OK: no conversion needed // // civil_month cm; // fun(cm); // OK: implicit conversion to civil_day // // NORMALIZATION: // // Integer arguments passed to the constructor may be out-of-range, in which // case they are normalized to produce a valid civil-time object. This enables // natural arithmetic on constructor arguments without worrying about the // field's range. Normalization guarantees that there are no invalid // civil-time objects. // // civil_day d(2016, 10, 32); // Out-of-range day; normalized to 2016-11-01 // // Note: If normalization is undesired, you can signal an error by comparing // the constructor arguments to the normalized values returned by the YMDHMS // properties. // // PROPERTIES: // // All civil-time types have accessors for all six of the civil-time fields: // year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

This is an interesting question // because there could be a number of possible answers: // // 1. March 3 (or 2 if a leap year). This may make sense if the operation // wants the equivalent of February 31. // 2. February 28 (or 29 if a leap year). This may make sense if the operation // wants the last day of January to go to the last day of February. // 3. Error. The caller may get some error, an exception, an invalid date // object, or maybe false is returned. This may make sense because there is // no single unambiguously correct answer to the question. // // Practically speaking, any answer that is not what the programmer intended // is the wrong answer. // // This civil-time library avoids the problem by making it impossible to ask // ambiguous questions. All civil-time objects are aligned to a particular // civil-field boundary (such as aligned to a year, month, day, hour, minute, // or second), and arithmetic operates on the field to which the object is // aligned. This means that in order to "add a month" the object must first be // aligned to a month boundary, which is equivalent to the first day of that // month. // // Of course, there are ways to compute an answer the question at hand using // this civil-time library, but they require the programmer to be explicit // about the answer they expect. To illustrate, let's see how to compute all // three of the above possible answers to the question of "Jan 31 plus 1 // month": // // const civil_day d(2015, 1, 31); // // // Answer 1: // // Add 1 to the month field in the constructor, and rely on normalization. // const auto ans_normalized = civil_day(d.year(), d.month() + 1, d.day()); // // ans_normalized == 2015-03-03 (aka Feb 31) // // // Answer 2: // // Add 1 to month field, capping to the end of next month. // const auto next_month = civil_month(d) + 1; // const auto last_day_of_next_month = civil_day(next_month + 1) - 1; // const auto ans_capped = std::min(ans_normalized, last_day_of_next_month); // // ans_capped == 2015-02-28 // // // Answer 3: // // Signal an error if the normalized answer is not in next month. // if (civil_month(ans_normalized) != next_month) { // // error, month overflow // } // civil_year; civil_month; civil_day; civil_hour; civil_minute; civil_second; // An enum class with members monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, // saturday, and sunday. These enum values may be sent to an output stream // using operator<<().
