[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31079] DATESTR function buggy before year 1970

[Ben Abbott]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #31079 (project octave):

I'd assumed that gnulib:mktime would now be used. I think it is, but I'm not
familiar enough with the configure flags to be certain.

In my config.log, for MacOS X, I see mktime mentioned in 4 places.

55764 ac_cv_func_wmempcpy=no
55765 ac_cv_func_working_mktime=yes
55766 ac_cv_func_x_utime=no

56688 GNULIB_MKSTEMPS='0'
56689 GNULIB_MKTIME='1'
56690 GNULIB_NANOSLEEP='1'

57195 REPLACE_MKSTEMP='0'
57196 REPLACE_MKTIME='0'
57197 REPLACE_NAN='0'

12150 configure:19540: result: no
12151 configure:19583: checking for working mktime
12152 configure:19775: gcc-4.2 -o conftest -I/sw/include -m32 -O2 -g
-I/sw/lib/flex/include -I/sw/include -m32 -I/sw/include/freetype2
-I/sw/include      /qhull -I/usr/include -L/sw/lib/flex/lib -L/sw/lib
-L/usr/lib -m32 conftest.c  >&5
12153 configure:19775: $? = 0

In config.status ...

bens-macbook:local_clone bpabbott$ fgrep -in mktime config.status
986:"R=1 -DMKFIFO_TRAILING_SLASH_BUG=1 -DGNULIB_TEST_MKFIFO=1
-DGNULIB_TEST_MKTIME=1 -DGNULIB_TEST_NANOSLEEP=1 -DOPEN_TRAILING_SLASH_BUG=1
-DGNULIB_TEST_"
1347:S["REPLACE_MKTIME"]="0"
1357:S["GNULIB_MKTIME"]="1"
2297:D["GNULIB_TEST_MKTIME"]=" 1"
