[date-time] special value problem
Hi, I have a problem with the date-time library. I have a code like this: namespace date=boost::gregorian; date::date dtMin(date::min_date_time); cout << dtMin << endl; Last line throws out-of-range exception. As far as I understand the meaning of min_date_time, this should not happen. If this is a standard behaviour, how can I get the minimal displayable date? Thanks, Pavol

This is a bug. You are going to use date dtMin(1400, 1, 1) for now. I can't fix it for a few days. Jeff

The fix for this is in CVS now. You need to update boost/date_time/gregorian/greg_date.hpp. Tests also updated to ensure the correct operation. There was a subtle hole in the tests that did not detect this bug... Jeff
