I guess this has already been discussed, so if it is the case, please could you give me the pointer?
Instead of providing new datetime, calendars classes I would preferred that you propose the needed modification to Boost.DateTime library, so it can be used in an internationalization context.
Why have you preferred to redo Boost.DateTime?
Few pointers: - http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/boost_locale/html/appendix.html#why_plain_numb... - http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/boost_locale/html/dates_times_timezones.html#d... Few points to differ: Boot.Locale date_time is: a) Provides different calendars (non-Gregorian) like Hebrew, Islamic that are frequently used using same interface. b) locale dependent (which calendar, what is first day of week) c) Time-Zone dependent (for example adding one hour is different from changing its posix time by +3600 because of Summer time) d) Represents both time and date in same object represented as a POSIX time Note: ptime is different as it is not really POSIX time it may be local time as well. Basically Boost.DateTime and Boost.Locale's date_time have very few in common. Boost.Locale's date_time is like a calculator of time in current locale.
Do your classes preserve the same interface than Boost.DateTime?
No, it does not. It is very different.
