I cannot be certain because it seems that a significant portion (the more generic portion) of the library is not documented, except for the doxygen-generated files,
Well, if you have questions just ask. There are many reasons why there isn't more documenation of the generic part of the library -- the primary ones being I don't believe I'm done modifying it and that it is an implementation detail for 98% of the users.
but my impression is that ptime represents a time in a specific time zone. Also, while the more
No, ptime is a non-adjusted time representation. So it can be used to represent either UTC or a local time. However, if it is a local time the user is required to keep that information externally. In the next release of the library there will be a local_date_time and time_zone classes that provide full support for local time representations.
generic portions of the library seem to support various user- specified precisions, ptime (the only time-point representation documented) is limited to a specific implementation-defined precision.
Yes, it is currently limited to the 2 specified resolutions. However, I have helped, and will help anyone that needs other resolutions. There is some refactoring and that needs to be done before this is offered as a documented feature of the library. Jeff
