Re: [Boost-users] [date_time] Constructing a ptime with __int64

Hi there, is it possible to construct a ptime with an __int64. The internal representation is of the same type. I couldn't find anything on this issue.

I don't think I recommend it and haven't tried it recently, but it appears that it's possible. See: http://www.boost.org/doc/html/ptime.html ptime(const time_rep_type &); I don't recommend it because of the obvious violation of encapsulation and the fact that if you recompile with the 96 bit internal representation your code will break. Oh, and if you want it to be portable, you should use boost::int64_t instead of __int64. Jeff
