Seems to be broken on my machine:
boost::int64_t nTime = 3434; ptime oTestTime( nTime );
will result in:
error C2664: 'boost::posix_time::ptime::ptime(boost::gregorian::date) ' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'boost::int64_t' to 'boost::gregorian::date' Constructor for class 'boost::gregorian::date' is declared 'explicit'
I'm using MSVC 7.1 and boost 1.33.1 .
This will compile with gcc on Linux: boost::int64_t n = 1138736958000000LL; ptime::time_rep_type val(n); ptime t2(val); but it aborts with a bad_year exception. I didn't really track down why. I've made this hard to do for good reason -- why are you trying to do this again? What is the problem that makes you want to use the internal value? Not that you can't get the value out either...
In any event shouldn't a change of the internal representation 64bit -> 96bit result in an compiler error, when I use "ptime(const time_rep_type &)"?
Yes probably -- but if not it would be a runtime discovery of incorrect results. Jeff
