#12963: boost::time_period::span() returns invalid period if one of the periods is
not-a-date-time
-------------------------------+------------------------
Reporter: willi.burkhardt@⦠| Owner: az_sw_dude
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: date_time
Version: Boost 1.62.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: time_period span |
-------------------------------+------------------------
In some cases, the time_period::span() function returns a less than
optimal result.
The expected behavior is that if one of the two periods is invalid/not-a
-date-time the other is returned.
What I observed is that if one of the two source periods is not-a-date-
time, the length() of the period returned is wrong/broken; invalidating
the resulting time_period.
I might be wrong with my expectation above, but in this case it should be
at least documented. Attached is a global function that I use to "fix" it
in my code.
