Hello,

i am using Boost V1.5.8 under vs 2010 with a german windows 7 64 bit. When I tried to calculate a time period I always ran into the same problem. The period is calculated one day too short. I wrote a little program to illustrate my problem. It’s important that you change the value of the variable test to the current date. Is this a bug or do I use the library in an incorrect way?

Thanks a lot,

Georg

#include "boost/date_time.hpp"

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

using namespace boost::gregorian;

int main()

{

       date today = day_clock::local_day();

       date test(2015,6,23); // Change value to current date

       date first(1965,10,26);

       date_period period(first, today);

if (!period.contains(test))

   cout << "shouldn't be our testdate in the period? " << endl;

}
