Re: [boost] boost::gregorian::date_period, how to increment/decrement the period

date_period contract(const date_period& dp, days len) { if (dp.length() < len) { //handle errors here -- after contraction nothing is left... } return date_period(dp.start() + len, dp.end()-len); }

In use: date_period dp(....); dp = contract(dp, days(2));

thanks Jeff,I will go this way. I suggest you to add also this functionality in a next version(1.34.1(?)) it's very usefull. thanks
